Are you an Adelaide-based Occupational Therapist looking for something different from the traditional Monday-to-Friday clinic role?

An established and growing allied health provider is seeking an Occupational Therapist to join its regional service through a versatile Drive-In Drive-Out (DIDO) model from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region.

You'll travel regionally on a fortnightly rotation, concentrating your face-to-face client work into your onsite week before returning home, with flexibility to complete reporting and other responsibilities remotely.

Your accommodation, regional travel and access to a vehicle while onsite are supported, allowing you to work regionally without having to permanently relocate.

The Role
You'll join a multidisciplinary allied health team providing community-based Occupational Therapy services to an established NDIS caseload.
The caseload includes a strong paediatric component alongside adult participants, with exposure to both straightforward and more complex presentations.

Depending on your experience and clinical interests, your responsibilities may include:

- Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs)
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessments
- Paediatric Occupational Therapy
- Assistive technology and equipment prescription
- Home and environmental assessments
- Home modification recommendations
- Capacity-building interventions
- Community-based assessments
- NDIS documentation and report writing
- Working closely with participants, families, carers and other health professionals

There is flexibility to structure your caseload around your clinical strengths and areas of interest.

A Different Way to Structure Your Fortnight
This role offers a genuinely different working model for Occupational Therapists who value autonomy and flexibility.

You'll drive from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region once per fortnight and complete the majority of your face-to-face appointments while onsite.




Rather than being locked into a traditional Monday-to-Friday structure, clinicians have flexibility around how they manage their hours across the fortnight.

Some clinicians prefer to maximise their client-facing hours while onsite, while others balance their onsite appointments with reporting and documentation completed remotely once they return home.

You'll be trusted to manage your own diary while meeting agreed clinical and productivity expectations.

What's On Offer?

- $110,000–$120,000 + super, depending on experience and progression
- Fortnightly DIDO model from Adelaide
- Regional travel expenses covered
- Accommodation provided during your onsite rotation
- Access to a vehicle while onsite
- Work-from-home flexibility between rotations
- High level of autonomy over your diary
- Established NDIS caseload
- Mix of paediatric and adult participants
- Exposure to complex and non-complex presentations
- Multidisciplinary allied health environment
- Supportive and growing organisation
- Opportunity for ongoing salary progression
- Streamlined interview process

About You To be considered, you will have:

- A recognised qualification in Occupational Therapy
- Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- Current driver's licence
- Strong communication and report-writing skills
- Confidence managing your own diary and caseload
- Ability and willingness to travel between Adelaide and the Mount Gambier region on a fortnightly basis

Previous experience within NDIS, community, paediatrics, assistive technology, functional assessments or home modifications would be advantageous; however, we're open to speaking with Occupational Therapists from a variety of clinical backgrounds.

Interested in a Different Way of Working?
If you're an Adelaide-based Occupational Therapist who likes the idea of concentrated regional work, strong remuneration and greater flexibility when you're back home, this could be an excellent alternative to a traditional clinic-based position.
