Occupational Therapist | Albury & Wodonga

Rate: $123 to $160 per billable hour (+ GST if registered) | Work Type: Contractor (Full Flexibility & Autonomy)

Do you want to work on your own terms while making a meaningful difference in your local community? At Light Me Up Therapy, we are doing things differently. We are currently experiencing increasing demand across Albury & Wodonga and are on the lookout for experienced Occupational Therapists who want to deliver high quality, face to face support without the burden of unbillable admin or corporate KPIs.

We offer a genuine partnership. You bring your clinical expertise and passion, and we provide the referrals, systems, and administrative support. You choose your hours, manage your own schedule from home, and select the clients you align with best.

We are also open to hear from practitioners in other regional hubs and cities across Australia, including Wollongong, Echuca, Geelong and beyond.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a dedicated Occupational Therapist based in Albury / Wodonga to support NDIS participants. We believe the best therapeutic outcomes happen in person, which is why we are looking for practitioners committed to providing face to face, on the ground service in the community with some telehealth work available as well. This is a chance to build a rewarding caseload close to home with the backing of a highly supportive administrative team.

Your Role

• Empower participants: Improve functional independence and support clients to improve their quality of life through assessments and ongoing intervention therapy.

• Deliver local impact: Provide highly engaged, face to face occupational therapy services to participants across Melbourne in their homes and in the community.

• Flexible report writing: Complete your written assessments and documentation from the comfort of home, in a time and space that works for you.

• Collaborate broadly: Build strong therapeutic relationships with local families, schools, support coordinators, and broader care teams.

• Design custom plans: Conduct functional assessments and prepare comprehensive, highly individualised written plans that make a real difference.

• Peer supervision available: small group supervision available with other Occupational Therapists to support professional development.

Who You Are

• Professional registration: You are a fully registered Occupational Therapist with AHPRA.

• NDIS expertise: You have 1+ years of experience working as an OT within the NDIS framework, with a solid understanding of relevant assessments and report writing.

• Community focused: You value genuine local connection and hands on, face to face support.

• Reliable and autonomous: You are organised, self motivated, and can commit to a minimum of 15 hours per week once your caseload is established.

The Logistics (Contractor Setup)

This is a subcontract position. To step into this role seamlessly, you must operate as an independent practitioner with:

• A valid ACN - we can help guide you through the setup process if you are transitioning to contracting!

• Your own Professional Indemnity & Public Liability insurance.

• A valid Driver’s Licence and reliable vehicle for community travel.

• Relevant NDIS Worker Screening Scheck and Working With Childrens Check
