About the Role

Working within a supportive multidisciplinary team alongside speech pathologists, psychologists, and other allied health professionals, you will deliver person-centred occupational therapy assessments and interventions to children and their families across a variety of settings including clinic, home, school, and community environments.

You will work closely with families and carers to identify goals, develop individualised intervention plans, and monitor progress toward meaningful outcomes. Structured clinical supervision and professional mentoring are built into the role, and genuine career progression pathways exist for clinicians at all stages of their career.

The role calls for someone who brings a collaborative, family-centred approach to practice and is committed to making a real difference in the lives of children and their families in North Queensland.

• Experience working with a paediatric caseload, or a strong desire to develop paediatric skills in a supported environment.
• Current or willing to obtain NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working with Children Check.
• A family-centred, collaborative approach to clinical practice.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills with children, families, and multidisciplinary colleagues.
• Current Australian driver’s licence and full working rights in Australia.

What the organisation offers?

• Competitive salary of $90,000 to $110,000 + Superannuation, commensurate with experience.
• Flexible full-time arrangements within a supportive team environment.
• Purpose-built clinic with modern resources and equipment.
• Structured supervision, clinical mentoring, and clearly defined career progression pathways.
• Relocation assistance available for candidates based outside of Townsville.
• Ongoing professional development and study support.
• A values-driven workplace where clinical quality and staff wellbeing are genuinely prioritised.
