Job description
Every Physiotherapist enters the profession wanting to make a genuine difference.
Over time, many discover that complex presentations don’t always fit neatly into traditional musculoskeletal models. They begin asking bigger questions.
Why does one person recover while another doesn’t?
Why do some people remain limited despite appropriate treatment?
Why do balance, movement, cognition and physical performance seem so closely connected?
At Ikigai Shift, asking those questions is where we begin.
We’re looking for a Physiotherapist who wants to think differently, continually develop their clinical reasoning and become part of an innovative multidisciplinary team that’s redefining how Physiotherapy contributes to rehabilitation, human performance and longevity.
Ikigai Shift is an integrated health, performance and longevity centre built around one simple belief:
The same systems that influence recovery also influence performance, resilience and healthy ageing.
Rather than separating musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, vestibular rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, performance and longevity into different disciplines, we’ve developed an integrated clinical model based on understanding human function.
Our clients include:
- Musculoskeletal conditions
- Vestibular disorders and dizziness
- Neurological presentations
- Athletes and active individuals
- Older adults wanting to maintain independence
- Professionals wanting to improve health and performance
- Individuals seeking to optimise function before problems develop
No matter why someone walks through our doors, our philosophy remains the same:
Understand the system. Measure it objectively. Train it specifically. Reassess it regularly.
At Ikigai Shift, rehabilitation is only one application of our clinical model.
The same principles we use to help someone recover from injury can also improve sporting performance, support healthy ageing, enhance workplace performance and help people build long-term resilience.
We believe many assessment and training principles traditionally confined to specialist neurological or vestibular rehabilitation have a place in mainstream Physiotherapy, health, fitness and longevity.
Because better human performance isn’t simply about becoming stronger or fitter.
It’s about ensuring the systems that underpin movement, balance, vestibular function, coordination, sensory processing, cognition and physical capacity are functioning at their best.
Our goal isn’t simply to restore function.
It’s to understand it, measure it, improve it and help people maintain it throughout life.
Assessment only has value if it changes what happens next.
Many clinicians identify impairments but have limited ways of specifically training the systems responsible for those impairments.
At Ikigai Shift, assessment directly guides intervention.
Objective findings are used to design targeted rehabilitation, performance and longevity programs that are continually refined through measurable reassessment.
Our clinicians work with an advanced suite of assessment and intervention technology including:
- VALD Performance Suite
- Vestibular Rail Spinner
- NeckCare Assessment & Training System
- TopSpin 360
These technologies are used across our entire client population—not just rehabilitation.
Whether working with an athlete, someone experiencing persistent neck pain, a client with vestibular dysfunction, a neurological condition or someone wanting to improve lifelong health, the same philosophy applies:
Assessment should drive precise, measurable intervention.
Technology never replaces clinical reasoning.
It strengthens it.
We’re interested in Physiotherapists from two backgrounds.
You may be a r ecent graduate or an experienced musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who has realised that not every presentation can be explained through joints, muscles and local tissues alone.
You want to better understand how vestibular function, movement, cognition, balance and sensory systems influence human performance.
You may already have formal training or experience in vestibular or neurological Physiotherapy and be looking for an environment where you can continue refining those skills within a broader model of integrated care.
If that’s you, we’ll support your development through mentoring, structured education and a pathway towards advanced vestibular practice.
Develop skills using advanced assessment and intervention systems rarely found together in private practice.
Professional development at Ikigai Shift isn’t simply about attending courses.
You’ll participate in structured mentoring, multidisciplinary case discussions, ongoing clinical education and regular exposure to contemporary evidence and objective assessment.
Work across:
- Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
- Vestibular rehabilitation
- Neurological rehabilitation
- Longevity
- NDIS
- Complex presentations
No two days are the same.
Work alongside Exercise Physiologists and other allied health professionals who genuinely collaborate to achieve the best outcomes for every client.
Our philosophy is simple:
One Client. One Team. One Journey.
As Ikigai Shift grows, opportunities will continue to develop in mentoring, leadership, education, innovation and future clinic locations.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is passionate about helping people
- Enjoys solving complex clinical problems
- Is curious and committed to lifelong learning
- Is open to feedback and continual improvement
- Communicates professionally and compassionately
- Enjoys working collaboratively
- Is excited by innovation and technology
- Wants to contribute to the future of healthcare
- Believes great clinicians never stop improving
- Current AHPRA registration
- Bachelor or Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy
- Professional Indemnity Insurance
- National Police Check
- Working With Children Check
- Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
- Vestibular rehabilitation training
- Neurological Physiotherapy experience
- Experience managing dizziness or balance disorders
- NDIS experience
- Sports rehabilitation or performance experience
- Experience managing persistent or complex conditions
Applicants without vestibular training are encouraged to apply if they demonstrate strong clinical foundations, curiosity and a genuine desire to develop in this area.
At Ikigai Shift, culture is something we practise—not something we write on a wall.
We’re building a close-knit team that values:
- Curiosity over certainty
- Evidence over assumption
- Kindness with accountability
- Continuous learning
- Professional excellence
We believe the best outcomes are achieved when talented people genuinely enjoy working together, support one another, challenge each other respectfully and celebrate each other’s growth.
We foster an environment where feedback is welcomed, ideas are shared openly, and every team member takes responsibility for contributing to a positive, high-performing workplace.
Our philosophy is simple:
One Client. One Team. One Journey.
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Structured mentoring and clinical supervision
- Access to world‑class assessment and intervention technology
- Diverse and intellectually stimulating caseload
- Multidisciplinary team environment
- Leadership and career progression opportunities
- A workplace built around innovation, curiosity and continuous improvement
- The opportunity to help shape a model of care that integrates rehabilitation, performance and longevity
