Job description

An established referral network, flexible schedule and meaningful community work

My Rehab Team is seeking an experienced Podiatrist to join our Brisbane-based mobile allied health team as a contractor.

This opportunity is suited to a confident clinician who enjoys working independently but values being connected to a supportive multidisciplinary team. You will have flexibility over your availability and schedule, with referrals and administrative support provided to help you build a sustainable caseload without starting from scratch.

The role is primarily mobile, providing podiatry services in clients’ homes and community settings across Brisbane. Medsana Medical Clinic, our Eight Mile Plains facility, also provides a central base and opportunities to collaborate with our allied health and medical teams.

About My Rehab Team

My Rehab Team is a growing multidisciplinary allied health organisation delivering mobile, community and clinic-based services across Brisbane.

While this position is primarily mobile and community-based, Medsana Medical Clinic, our Eight Mile Plains facility, provides a central base and opportunities to collaborate with our multidisciplinary allied health and medical team. Our team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, exercise physiologists, podiatrists, dietitians, nurses, social workers, therapy assistants and support coordinators.

Our approach is practical, collaborative and outcome-focused. We help clients improve their independence, participate in everyday life and remain safely supported in their homes and communities.

About the opportunity

As an experienced contractor, you will manage your clinical work with a high degree of autonomy while remaining connected to our broader team.

• Neurological and disability-related presentations
• Age-related foot care and mobility concerns
• Skin and nail conditions
• Footwear assessment and education
• Injury management and prevention
• Ongoing care for clients with chronic or complex health conditions

Clients may receive services through the NDIS, Support at Home, Medicare, private funding and other funding arrangements.

We aim to allocate referrals with consideration of your preferred service areas, availability, clinical experience and existing schedule.

• Referrals across NDIS, Support at Home, Medicare and private funding streams
• A Brisbane-based mobile caseload planned with location and travel in mind
• Administrative and scheduling support
