Independent Tenant Practitioner – Special Interest in Running
Build your own clinical niche without starting from scratch.
Acland Street Physiotherapy is looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial physiotherapist who wants to grow their own caseload, professional reputation and long-term career within an established boutique clinic.
This is not a salaried or KPI-driven private practice role.
You will operate as an independent tenant practitioner with strong autonomy, flexible hours, an attractive percentage-based arrangement and access to infrastructure that would take years to build independently.
The opportunity
Through Melbourne Running Clinic, we are growing a dedicated running injury, rehabilitation and performance service across St Kilda, Prahran and South Yarra.
This may suit a physiotherapist interested in:
Running injuries and gait assessment
Sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Strength and conditioning
Tendon and return-to-sport rehabilitation
Building a recognised clinical niche
You do not need to arrive with a full caseload, but you should be motivated to build one through excellent care, strong communication and community engagement.
Why this prospect is different
Our St Kilda clinic spans two suites and includes:
A dedicated reformer Pilates room overlooking iconic Luna Park
Specialised 24 km/h treadmill and running assessment technology
Modern rehabilitation and movement analysis equipment
AI-assisted documentation through CliniScribe
You will also benefit from:
An established and highly rated local clinic
Collaboration with Melbourne Running Clinic
Local sporting connections through Old Melburnians Soccer Club
Support building your niche, reputation and patient base
Flexible schedule and strong clinical autonomy
Potential future leadership or partnership opportunities
We focus on patient experience, quality, trust, communication and long-term outcomes, not volume-based KPIs.
