participation, inclusion and practical, real-world outcomes

Working in this model means helping people build skills and confidence to participate in daily life, engage in their communities and live as independently as possible — not just achieve goals in a clinic room.

Interdisciplinary collaboration and shared learning across locations
Ongoing professional development and career coaching
Clear pathways into advanced clinical, mentoring or leadership roles
If you're transitioning into
community or NDIS practice
, you'll be supported to build confidence with goals, outcomes and documentation — without being expected to know everything from day one.
Early‐career OTs are supported to consolidate skills,



and experienced OTs are encouraged to deepen expertise or step into leadership over time.

Enjoy community‐based, strengths‐focused OT
Want flexibility in caseload, location and scheduling
Are interested in paediatrics, mixed caseloads, or transitioning between the two

What you'll bring
