We are currently looking for an experienced Optical Dispenser to join a Melbourne practice on a casual basis.

This role suits someone who is confident across all areas of dispensing and is comfortable stepping into a functioning clinic, picking up ongoing patient work, and maintaining a high level of accuracy and care without extensive handover.

You’ll be working alongside optometrists and support staff in a coordinated clinical-retail setting where efficiency, attention to detail, and correct dispensing outcomes are key.

Reviewing prescriptions and advising on appropriate lens options
Assisting patients with frame selection and suitability
Completing accurate measurements including PDs and fitting heights
Managing a mix of straightforward and more complex dispensing work
Handling adjustments, repairs, and resolving dispensing issues
Supporting optometrists during patient appointments and follow-ups
Processing orders and ensuring records are completed correctly





Shifts will vary depending on clinic requirements and will suit someone who can quickly settle into existing processes and contribute effectively from the start of each shift.

We’re looking for someone with:
Previous experience in optical dispensing (minimum 2–3 years preferred)
Strong understanding of optical lenses, prescriptions, and frame fitting
Confidence working independently within a clinical-retail setting
High level of accuracy and consistency in all dispensing tasks
Explicit, professional communication with both patients and clinicians
Ability to adapt quickly and work efficiently in a structured environment
A practical mindset with strong problem-solving skills

What’s On Offer
Casual shifts within an established Melbourne optical practice
Exposure to a wide variety of dispensing cases
Supportive clinical and retail team environment
