As our community aged care services continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist to join our supportive multidisciplinary team. In this full time community-based role, you will be located in the South East Region of Melbourne, and you will partner with consumers, families and Care Advisors to understand each person’s goals, assess functional ability and deliver practical, person-centred interventions that promote safety, confidence and independence.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact every day — from recommending home modifications and assistive technology to supporting positive rehabilitative outcomes that help people live well and reach their full potential.

What you’ll bring:

- Current registration as an Occupational Therapist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to practise with the National Board.
- A current NDIS Worker Screening Check, First Aid certificate and CPR certificate.
- Experience completing occupational therapy assessments and delivering practical interventions with individuals and families.
- A genuine interest in supporting older people living in the community to remain safe, independent and connected.
- Confidence providing interventions that maximise independence, wellbeing and quality of life.
- Strong communication, planning, organisation and time management skills, with the ability to work autonomously.
- The ability to build positive, collaborative relationships with consumers, families, colleagues and external partners.
- Sound IT skills and confidence using databases and digital systems.
- A current driver’s licence.

It would also be great if you have:





- Membership with Occupational Therapy Australia.
- Knowledge of Home Care Packages and other community services in the aged care sector.
- Experience with brokerage models of service and Consumer Directed Care.
- Knowledge of Carelink Plus.

What we offer you:

- Not-for-profit salary packaging benefits to help you make the most of your income.
- Employee Recognition Awards that celebrate contribution and impact.
- Access to an Employee Assistance Program to support your wellbeing.

Why work for us? Be part of work that truly makes a meaningful difference.
On top of a competitive salary, you'll enjoy:

● Not-for-profit salary packaging benefits, plus additional meal and entertainment benefits
● A work vehicle provided for use during working hours
● A genuinely values-driven culture — Caring, Accountable, Respectful, Ethical — where your work has real, visible impact on the lives of older Victorians
