A well-established, NDIS-registered allied health provider is expanding its multidisciplinary team and is seeking a passionate Occupational Therapist to join its Bacchus Marsh clinic.

About Bacchus Marsh

Bacchus Marsh is a thriving peri-urban town approximately 50 km west of Melbourne CBD, nestled at the foot of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by the historic orchards and market gardens of the Werribee River valley. Once a quiet rural centre, it has become one of Victoria's fastest-growing communities, attracting families drawn to its heritage streetscape, the iconic Avenue of Honour, excellent local schools and unbeatable access to both Melbourne and Ballarat via the Western Freeway. For an OT, it's a genuine "best of both worlds" location — regional charm and lifestyle affordability, with a metropolitan client base and career opportunities on your doorstep.

Your caseload

• Assessments, therapy planning, and hands-on intervention
• Collaboration with speech pathologists, behaviour support practitioners and allied health assistants

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Occupational Therapy
• Current AHPRA registration
• Minimum 1-2 years' post-graduate clinical experience preferred (new graduates with strong placement experience will be considered)
• NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
• Working with Children Check
• Current Australian driver's license and reliable vehicle (essential for community visits)
• Full Australian working rights

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary of $80,000 - $115,000 + super, negotiable based on experience
• Flexible engagement — full-time, part-time or independent contractor
• Balanced clinic/community split so no two days look the same
• Modern, well-equipped clinic space
• Genuine multidisciplinary team environment
• Supportive leadership with a person-centred, ethical approach
• Ongoing professional development and mentoring
