Paediatric Occupational Therapist

This is not your standard paediatric OT role.

At Geelong Neuro Centre Kids, we’ve created a clinic where Occupational Therapists can build genuine expertise in paediatric neurological rehabilitation, not simply manage a broad mixed caseload.

This role suits clinicians who value high-quality therapy, enjoy working as part of a robust team, and want to continue developing their skills in a well-supported environment.

You’ll work alongside experienced clinicians, access world-class equipment, and have the time, structure,



and support to do meaningful work.

Why this role is different

A true neuro-focused environment

This is not a broad generalist paediatric role.

Your caseload will be primarily focused on children with physical, developmental, and neurological presentations, including:

- Cerebral Palsy
- Developmental Delay
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Down Syndrome
- Spina Bifida
- Rare and complex neurological conditions

You won’t be figuring it out alone

We have a large, experienced Occupational Therapy team of 17 clinicians, with established areas of clinical focus and specialisation.

You’ll also be part of a broader multidisciplinary organisation of approximately 60 people, including:

- Physiotherapy
- Exercise Physiology
- Speech Pathology
- Podiatry
- Dedicated administration and finance support teams

That means access to:

- Regular joint sessions and shared learning opportunities
- Genuine clinical collaboration through team meetings and daily peer support
- Dedicated team spaces designed for side-by-side working and collaboration
- Open rehab spaces and private treatment rooms alongside colleagues
- Discipline-specific mentoring that actively builds your skills
- Strong operational support so clinicians can focus on clinical work

Clinical growth here is deliberate

Your development here is structured, supported, and actively planned.

Professional development is aligned to your goals through 12-month and 3-year career planning, with clear support to help you progress.

You’ll have access to:

- 1:1 mentoring and group OT mentoring
- Internal and external professional development
- A dedicated PD allowance
- Yearly progress and planning meetings with our Directors
- A clear career progression framework
- Opportunities to develop specialist skills in areas such as upper limb rehabilitation, assistive technology, and seating & positioning

Beyond clinical skills

We also support the non-clinical skills needed to thrive in private practice, the areas often not taught at university.

This includes:

- Understanding funding systems
- Report writing
- Referral relationship development
- Diary management
- Private practice workflows

Many of our clinicians have transitioned from public health or relocated from interstate, and we provide support to make that move smooth and sustainable.





You’ll also have access to established templates, examples, and peer collaboration to help build confidence and efficiency.

Equipment most clinics don’t have

Our purpose-built clinic includes:

- 3 large specialised rehab spaces
- 20 individual treatment rooms
- Dedicated paediatric neurological therapy spaces
- Tyromotion MYRO and DIEGO robotic therapy systems
- Upper limb therapy equipment including Saebo
- Electrical stimulation including Xcite2 and FES Bike
- Splinting and casting services
- DMI Therapy
- XSensor pressure mapping system
- Advanced seating and positioning clinic

This allows you to deliver therapy that is hands-on, intensive, and outcomes-focused.

Performance and rewards

We don’t measure success through outdated volume-based billing alone.
Instead, we use Clinical Excellence Indicators, recognising quality of care, clinical reasoning, collaboration, and client outcomes.

That means:

- You’re recognised for how you work, not just how many clients you see
Structured 4-weekly rewards and feedback cycles
- Clear expectations with support to meet them
- A focus on quality care rather than rushed appointments
- Clinicians who build strong clinical skills and consistency typically meet and exceed expectations within standard working hours.

Where you’ll work

You’ll be based in our purpose-built paediatric clinic, with opportunities for community and home visits where appropriate.

We also actively support you to build your caseload.

Our dedicated referral and intake coordinator manages onboarding and prepares clients for their first appointment, allowing you to focus on clinical care from day one.

After that, you’ll take ownership of your diary with support from the broader team.

Flexibility that actually works

We know clinicians do their best work when life fits around work.

Options include:

- 4-day weeks
- 9-day fortnights
- Flexible structuring of your week

Where this role can take you

Progression at GNC is clear, supported, and aligned with your goals.

Pathways may include:

- Clinical Specialist
- Stream Leader
- Mentor or Supervisor
- High-performing clinician pathway
- Leadership roles

What we’re looking for

This role suits Occupational Therapists who:

- Want to keep improving their craft
- Are curious and open to learning
- Value collaboration and teamwork
- Care deeply about delivering meaningful, high-quality therapy
- Want to be part of a strong and positive clinical culture
