- Job Description

New Grad / Early Career Physiotherapist
Start your career where you're treated like a professional, not cheap labour.

Most new grads spend years doing low‑value work for average pay and slow progression. We're offering:

Fast‑track pathway: Clear 12–24 month path from New Grad to Senior

Same earning potential as seniors once you hit a full caseload

Structured mentorship so you actually get better, fast

Strength‑forward model in a premium gym, not a conveyor‑belt clinic

If you want to be measured, mentored, and pushed to grow, this is for you.

About By Design Physiotherapy

By Design is a strength‑first private practice with a fully private commercial gym in Hobart. We help everyday people move better, get strong, and go from pain to performance on the gym floor.

The Role

As a New Grad / Early Career Physio, you will:

Deliver 1:1 physio sessions and coach on the gym floor

Take clients from pain to performance with strength‑based rehab

Build and progress clear plans, with support from senior physios

Grow your caseload over your first 6–12 months toward a full book

Take on more responsibility (mentoring, projects, leadership) as you progress

Full‑time, Monday to Friday. No weekends, no late‑night grind. Busy, but sane, and genuinely fun if you like strength and coaching.

What You Get

Compensation: $90k–$100k base + super,



with the same bonus structure as seniors so that at full caseload your total earnings match our senior physios

Development: Weekly mentorship, case reviews, in‑house PD, plus an annual PD budget

Setting: 400sqm premium private gym, explicit systems and treatment pathways

Roster: 38‑hour week, flexible start/finish times

Perks: Free onsite gym membership, birthday leave, team events, high‑standards culture

Your Fast‑Track Pathway

0–3 months: Onboarding, shadowing, supported consults, foundation skills

3–12 months: Growing caseload, increasing independence, hitting key clinical and billing milestones

12–24 months: Full caseload, Senior‑level earnings, mentoring newer grads, contributing to clinical standards

You'll see the exact milestones and numbers so you know what "on track" looks like.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You…

Are a 2026 new grad (or 0–2 years out) with/eligible for AHPRA registration

Love the idea of coaching in a gym, not just ticking boxes in a treatment room

Want honest feedback, clear expectations, and to be held to a high standard

Are excited by a full, busy caseload, not intimidated by it

Care about real outcomes and enjoy working with everyday people who want to get strong

This Is Not For You If…

You want to "take it easy for a few years" post‑grad

You're not interested in strength training or being on the gym floor

You don't want to be measured, mentored, and pushed to grow
