Job description

Occupational Therapist — Traralgon VIC | Generalist | Newly Created Role

Permanent | Competitive Salary + PD

Shape your own role. Build something from scratch. Do it in one of Victoria's best lifestyle regions.

This isn't a role where you slot into someone else's system. Traralgon's well-established multidisciplinary clinic has created a brand new OT position — and they want the right person to help design how it runs. The caseload, the workflow, the day-to-day rhythm — there's genuine flexibility to build this in a way that works for you.

The clinic owner is hands‑on, approachable and genuinely open to ideas. If you've ever wanted autonomy without feeling like you're on your own, this is it.

The role

You’ll work across a mixed generalist caseload covering:

• Adults and paediatrics
• Community and clinic-based appointments
• Functional and general OT assessments
• A broad range of presentations and conditions

Some community travel is part of the role (schools, aged care facilities, home visits), so a driver’s licence is needed. Down the track, if you're interested, there may also be an opportunity to mentor junior OTs as the team grows — though that's entirely optional.

This role suits you if

• Enjoy variety and are confident managing a broad caseload independently
• Like making clinical decisions without having to run everything past someone
• Want to genuinely shape a service rather than just fill a seat
• Value being part of a team that actually supports each other

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary, negotiable based on your experience
• Multiple professional development opportunities throughout the year
• Flexible workflow — you have real input into how your days are structured
• Long-term growth potential within an established organisation with clinics across Australia
• Supportive, flexible management who value your input

What You'll Need

• General AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• Minimum 3 years of experience within the Australian or comparable healthcare system
• Confident managing a mixed caseload independently
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Driver's licence

Why Traralgon?

Traralgon sits in the heart of Gippsland — one of Victoria's most liveable regions. Here's why people who move there tend to stay:

Lifestyle

National parks, lakes, hiking trails and beaches all within reach on weekends. A relaxed pace without sacrificing convenience.

Affordability

Housing costs a fraction of Melbourne. Your salary goes considerably further.

Community

Great schools, a growing café and dining scene, sporting clubs and a genuine sense of neighbourhood that's hard to find in a city.

Connected

Melbourne is accessible by train or car, so regional living doesn't mean being cut off.

If you've been thinking about making a move out of the city, this is the kind of role and location that makes it easy to say yes.
