Description du poste

Occupational Therapist - Graduate Program 2027 - Brisbane Central

Starting your first role as an Occupational Therapist is a big transition. You should not have to arrive with all the answers. At Avina, our 12-month Graduate Program is designed to give you structure, people to turn to and the practical experience to become the clinician or practitioner you want to be.

Avina might be a new name, but you may already know some of our teams. Therapy Pro, Adaptability Therapy and Tashacare have come together as Avina - one national allied health and behaviour support community with 400+ clinicians across QLD, NSW, VIC and SA.

We deliver Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Psychology, Positive Behaviour Support, Physiotherapy and other allied health services across the lifespan.

Everything we do is guided by our values:
Progressive | Curious | Respectful | Collaborative | Informed | Purposeful.

Your Graduate Year at Avina
Someone has your back
Your first year as an Occupational Therapist is about developing your clinical identity and building confidence in your own practice.

When you start with us, your first weeks are about learning, observing, asking questions and gradually taking on more.

The program begins with a structured 9-week onboarding and caseload ramp-up, supported by:

• Shadowing with experienced clinicians
• Reverse shadowing and supported sessions as you transition into independent practice
• Regular discipline-specific clinical supervision
• Case consultation, report review and clinical feedback
• Working collaboratively within an MDT
• Peer learning and connection with other graduates
• Communities of Practice and broader professional development opportunities

What You'll Learn
Become the clinician you want to be

Across your graduate year, you'll be exposed to a broad range of Occupational Therapy practice, learning alongside experienced clinicians, discipline peers and other graduates.

You’ll have opportunities to build your capability across a range of Occupational Therapy practice areas, including:

• Functional assessment and capacity building
• Daily living, participation and independence
• Sensory, motor and emotional regulation
• Assistive technology and equipment
• And so much more!

What You'll Be Doing
Work that matters

You’ll deliver evidence-informed, person-centred Occupational Therapy services across community, clinic, home and school environments.

As your capability grows, you’ll take on greater ownership of a real caseload. The aim isn't to make you "productive" as quickly as possible, it's to help you become safe, thoughtful and confident in work that makes a real difference.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor or Master of Occupational Therapy completed or nearing completion
• AHPRA registration or eligibility to obtain registration
• Interest in disability and community-based practice
• Curiosity, initiative, willingness to learn and openness to feedback
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle
• NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working With Children Check, or willingness to obtain them
