Job description

SportsFit Health and Rehab – Five Dock NSW

About Us

SportsFit Health and Rehab is a hands-on, athlete-focused clinic with locations in Five Dock and Gladesville. We pair serious testing technology with a collaborative, supportive culture

Two gyms: a 60 sqm rehab gym and a 200 sqm performance gym, with commercial-grade equipment: force plates, VALD ForceFrame, AxIT system, anti-gravity treadmill, and shockwave

Your Demographic

• We have one of the biggest ACL private practice case loads in Sydney, with our clinicians on average having a load of around 30% of their weekly load ACL rehab
• Currently the Performance and Rehab partner for Triathlon NSW
• Work with multiple club work across the Inner West, (with a strong focus on womens sports) including Inner West Magpies AFL, Sydney Cricket Club, Greenlees Netball and Sydney Uni Rugby League Club with more planned for 2027

How We Treat

Genuine one-to-one. We do not double-book
Our in house AI tools for notes, GP letters, patient messaging, ACL systems, and physio second opinion assistant designed to help you clinically reason and justify your assessment and treatment decisions.

About the Role

We will be honest.... this role does not exist yet. We are looking for someone to create and build a program from the ground up!

We have no women's health service, and it is the obvious gap in what we offer. We want a physiotherapist around three years out to build one from the ground up, inside a clinic that already thinks in loads, testing and return-to-sport rather than in appointments.

Most women's health roles put you in a room on your own, in a practice where nobody else quite understands what you do. This one runs the other way. The women we see are already here and already athletes. A netballer returning after a baby is a loading problem, a pelvic floor problem and a return-to-sport problem all at once

There is a clear line between women's health and what we are already known for. Female athletes tear ACLs at markedly higher rates than men, and we see 20-30 ACLs a week. A programme connecting pelvic health, load tolerance and injury risk in female athletes is a genuinely interesting thing to build, and we have the caseload to build it on.

What You'll Step Into

A blank page and a$10, 000 budget. Equipment, training and marketing it properly.

Your own scope: how the service runs, what it treats and who it is for issubstantially yours to design

Two gyms, force plates and an anti-gravity treadmill to build post-partum
return-to-running and return-to-sport pathways on

An existing sports caseload to grow the service from, rather than starting cold
Support to keep developing your own clinical niche within it

The Opportunity in Women's Sport

Our club relationships span AFL, cricket and netball, and those clubs field women's and girls' teams.

If you want to work in women's sport, this is a direct route into it. The person who grows this will be someone who enjoys the networking

Who You'll Work With

A multidisciplinary team: six physios, a chiropractor, a remedial massage therapist, exercise physiologists and a strength and conditioning coach

• Mentorship from a Titled Sports Physiotherapist, with support with an external provider to build your women's health knowledge
• 1-2 hours of one-to-one mentoring every week
• Weekly group in-services
• Weekly team meetings and case conferencesQuarterly lectures from external experts: shoulder surgeons, sports doctors and specialists in the field
• Quarterly team dinners and outings
• $1,500 CPD budget (pro rata), on top of the programme budget

Requirements

• Around 3 years clinical experience
• Women's health training completed or well under way
• Full AHPRA registration
• A driver's licence
• Legally eligible to work in Australia (no sponsorship available)
• Someone who wants ownership of a service, and whowill do the unglamorous first year: the talks to clubs, the referral relationships, the specialists, explaining what you do to people who have not thought about it

• SIRA accreditation
• Interest in AFL, cricket or netball, and the drive to build relationships in those sports

• Experience working with female athletes in rehab or performance settings
• Sideline coverage is not a requirement of this role the way it is elsewhere in the clinic, but it is there if you want it.

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and encourage applicants who bring balance to our current team dynamics.
