About You

Are you a new graduate or early career Physiotherapist who is driven and dedicated to pursuing a career in Private Practice (including one with multiple specialties – MSK, Neuro, Sports, Women’s Health, Concussion & Vestibular)?

Do you thrive on continuous learning, want to work within a high-performing and supportive culture, and relish collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to maximise patient outcomes?

At Wellness Embodied, we’ve successfully trained and retained multiple new graduate and early career physios — several of whom are now in leadership roles within our clinics.

About Us

We are an award-winning, cohesive multidisciplinary team with a clear vision: to make Far North Queensland the healthiest region in Australia.

Our purpose is to advance whole-person healthcare, and we live by our values every day: Compassion, Leadership, Integrity, Consistency, Kindness, and Sustainability. These aren’t just words on a wall — we regularly rate, recognise, and celebrate them as a team.

Our Cairns clinics offer diverse opportunities:

- Abbott Street Flagship Clinic: Spacious gym, advanced tech, and recovery facilities

- Parramatta Park Clinic: Community-focused care with multidisciplinary collaboration, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy & SD lab bed fitting.

We’re also proud of our vibrant team culture — quarterly team days, external speakers, funded CPD events, and social activities are part of our DNA.

About the Role

We have an opportunity for up to 2 new graduates to learn and develop as part of our supportive team. These structured roles are designed to give you exposure to a wide variety of patient presentations and settings. Depending on your interests and skillset, your caseload may include:

- Concussion, vestibular, and neuro rehabilitation





- Women’s health and pelvic care
