Tired of city burnout & high-pressure clinics? Join MoveAbout’s supportive OT team on the Central Coast, where growth and balance come with ocean views—almost ; )
Are you tired of job ads that all sound the same? It’s hard to tell which ones are genuine and which will leave you burnt out. At MoveAbout, we invite you to meet the team, ask questions, and experience the connection and support we offer first hand. You don’t just have to take our word for it—talk to the OTs who are thriving here.
This is your open invitation to visit our clinic, observe sessions, and see for yourself if MoveAbout is the right fit for you. To arrange a visit, call us at 02 4389 1812 or email

Still curious? Read on to discover how MoveAbout will help you 'burn in' rather than burn out.
Why MoveAbout is Different
You’ve seen other ads promising "great support" and "work-life balance." At MoveAbout, we actually mean it. In the past 20 months, over 30 OTs reached out to us—without us even placing a job ad—because they saw how we value connection and growth.
We’re advertising now because the Central Coast has a smaller pool of OTs, and we’ve expanded our clinic with more space and state-of-the-art equipment. Our team is also building a flow space where you can relax, meditate, or even unwind with some air hockey or pool. This is a place where you can thrive professionally and personally.
At MoveAbout, we support the people who support the kids. Whether you’re starting your career or reigniting your passion, we offer an environment that truly cares about your well-being.
What We Offer:
- Real Support: Weekly 1:1 and group mentoring (regardless of your experience—mentoring doesn’t end after six months!), co-treatment spaces for collaboration, and online sessions with world-class clinicians like Kim Barthel and Sheila Frick. You’ll be part of a connected, playful, learning-driven team.
- Career Growth: Your journey is yours to shape at MoveAbout. We believe in co-creating career paths that reflect your unique strengths and passions. For example, Sophie (8+ years at MoveAbout) started as an OT in our Berkeley Vale clinic and took on leadership roles managing scheduling and social media, later becoming the Clinical Manager at our Bella Vista clinic. Here are a few other examples:
Tayla (5+ years)is our Head of Giving and also leads our Social Media, Jake (6+ years) coordinates MoveAbout Mentoring Program and Elise (4+ years)leads our AI and Learning Portal. Leadership can happen at all levels - even new grads have led initiatives like our healthy snack program. Whatever your goals, MoveAbout will help you lead in ways that matter to you.
- Work-Life Balance: A manageable caseload that grows gradually, plenty of shadow time, and flexible hours. We also offer 14 weeks of paid parental leave.
- Community & Connection: Our Central Coast clinic isn’t just a workplace—it’s a community. You’ll love the relaxed pace here, with access to beaches, bushwalks, and a close-knit, family-friendly team. In the past two years, we’ve brought on four amazing OTs with 4 years’ experience, 9 years’ experience, 14 years’ experience, and 29 years’ experience.
- Salary opportunities ranging from $77,000 to $110,000 plus superannuation.

Why the Central Coast?
“We made the move to the Central Coast because life in Sydney felt hectic. We wanted to slow down and be more present for our son. Here, we have the time to breathe, relax, and enjoy the easy things—whether it’s playing outside, going to the beach, or just spending quality time as a family. Now, I’m heading on maternity leave with our second child, and I am so grateful that MoveAbout has parental leave to support me.” – Sarah C, OT at MoveAbout.
Imagine starting your day with a beach walk, knowing you’re part of a vibrant community and only a short trip to Sydney or Newcastle if needed. Many of our team have made the move for the balance of nature, affordability, and connection. The Central Coast offers a unique lifestyle that blends professional opportunities with real, relaxed living.
