We warmly welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people from diverse cultural backgrounds, people of all genders and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

About the Role
As a SensesWA Orthoptist, you will provide high-quality, evidence-based services to children, adolescents and adults with a range of developmental needs, with opportunity and support to develop proficiency in combined vision and hearing loss.
SensesWA's Deafblind team is Australia's pre-eminent allied health service provider for people living with some combined degree of vision and hearing loss, and we are always on the lookout for rare and unique allied health therapists to join our team.

The start date is immediate, to allow time for a supported handover.
