Community Occupational Therapist - South of River
Maybe you're not looking for another OT job... Maybe you're looking for somewhere you actually want to stay.
You've probably worked somewhere with impossible KPIs. Endless meetings. A caseload you didn't choose. Or maybe you've started wondering whether you're falling out of love with being an OT... when really, you're just tired of the way it's being done.
We get it. Because Colab Therapy exists for exactly that reason.

Why Colab exists
I started Colab because I wanted to build the workplace I wished existed. Somewhere clinicians are trusted, where quality comes before quantity, and where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. A place where your clinical interests shape your role, your opinions matter, and you're encouraged to think differently rather than simply follow the status quo.
We're not trying to become the biggest therapy provider in Perth. We're trying to become one of the best.
That means building a team of positive people who care deeply about their participants, enjoy collaborating with each other, and want to do work they're genuinely proud of.
If that resonates with you, keep reading!!
What you'll actually spend your days doing
One of the things we're most proud of is that we don't hand you a generic caseload and expect you to make it fit.
We build your role around the areas of practice that genuinely interest you, aiming for around 80% of your work to sit within the areas you love and want to grow in. The remaining 20% may include existing participants or referrals that come through, or areas that stretch you a little and help you develop breadth and confidence as a clinician.




That might include:
Functional Capacity Assessments
Supporting independence with daily living skills, routines and community participation
Executive functioning and life skills
Psychosocial disability and recovery-focused practice
Assistive Technology prescription
Home modifications
Housing assessments, SIL, ILO or SDA
Neurorehabilitation
Paediatrics
Or perhaps it's a combination of several.
If there's an area you're passionate about, we'll support you to grow it. We'd much rather have clinicians working in the spaces that energise them than expecting everyone to be everything to everyone.
Is Colab your kind of place?
We work hard while we're working. Then we go home!
We don't celebrate burnout or wear busy like a badge of honour. We believe people do their best work when they have the time and headspace to think, reflect and enjoy life outside of work.
Clinical quality isn't something we talk about because it sounds good, it's how we make decisions every day.
Sometimes that means spending longer on a report because it needs to be done properly, sometimes it means saying no to referrals that don't align with our values. Or, sometimes it means challenging each other's thinking because we all want the best outcome for the participant.
Our team collaborates constantly. We bounce around ideas, ask for second opinions, celebrate wins and work through the tricky cases together.
Nobody is expected to know everything. In the world of OT, that would be impossible!
Who thrives at Colab?
You're probably someone who:
Has at least two years' experience as an Occupational Therapist.
Knows the kind of work that excites you,



and the work that doesn't.
Enjoys being trusted to manage your own workload.
Takes pride in doing thoughtful, high-quality clinical work.
Values honest conversations and constructive feedback.
Wants to keep learning and developing.
Likes being part of a team without needing someone looking over your shoulder every day.
Most importantly, you're a good human. Skills can be taught. Character can't.
The practical stuff
A caseload designed around your interests.
Full-time, part-time or a role built around your life.
Realistic KPIs (5 billable hours per day).
Weekly supervision and mentoring.
Professional development that actually matters.
Regular team days and genuine collaboration.
Flexibility and autonomy.
A workplace where your ideas help shape the future of the business.
A few things you should know before applying
We don't have a clinic. Some people love that, but some don't.
Our work happens where life happens - in people's homes and communities. We stay connected through regular team days, supervision and plenty of day-to-day collaboration, so you'll never feel like you're on an island.
We're also still growing. That means we're not a giant corporate with layer upon layer of management and policies.
If you think a system could work better, we want to know! If you've got an idea, we'll listen.
If there's a better way of doing something, we'll probably change it. We're building this together.
One thing we'll never compromise on is our integrity.
We've declined referrals where we were asked to stretch the truth or tell people what they wanted to hear. We won't ask you to do that either. We believe participants deserve honest clinical advice, even when it's difficult.
Sound like your kind of place?
Maybe you're ready for a change or maybe you're simply curious? Either way, we'd love to meet you!
No pressure and no awkward recruitment process - let's grab a coffee, have a chat and see whether Colab feels like the right fit!
