About Us & Your Opportunity
Your first Occupational Therapy role should give you the opportunity to discover what kind of OT you actually want to become.
At Live Right Health Group, we don't expect a New Graduate Occupational Therapist to walk through the door knowing everything.
We expect you to be curious, willing to learn and passionate about becoming a outstanding clinician.
We'll help with the rest.
Our New Graduate Occupational Therapists have the opportunity to progressively develop experience across three areas of practice:
Community Occupational Therapy
Rehabilitation Consulting & Return to Work
Medicolegal Occupational Therapy & Functional Assessment
You won't be expected to become competent across everything immediately.
Your caseload will develop progressively based on your confidence, competency and interests, with mentoring and supervision provided as you move into new areas of practice.
Early in your career, you may spend more time developing your foundations in community Occupational Therapy before progressively gaining exposure to workplace rehabilitation, Functional Capacity Evaluations, complex assessments and medicolegal work.
The goal isn't to make you do everything.
It's to give you enough exposure,



mentoring and opportunity to eventually decide where you want your OT career to go.
What Could Your Career Look Like?
One day you may be working with an NDIS participant to improve independence within their home.
Another may involve completing an ADL or functional assessment and recommending equipment or environmental modifications.
As your experience develops, you could be attending a workplace to understand an injured worker's job demands and assist with their return to work.
Later in your development, you may learn to complete Functional Capacity Evaluations, complex Assistive Technology assessments or contribute to comprehensive medicolegal assessments and reports.
That diversity means you can build broad foundations as a New Graduate before deciding whether you want to specialise.
Live Right Health Group delivers services throughoutBrisbane, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, providing opportunities across community rehabilitation, disability, occupational rehabilitation and medicolegal services.
Our Approach to New Graduates
We know the transition from university to clinical practice can be significant.
You won't be expected to manage the same complexity or caseload as an experienced Occupational Therapist from day one.
Your development will focus on:
Building confidence with assessment and clinical reasoning
Learning how to structure an effective OT assessment
Developing intervention planning skills
Learning professional documentation and report writing
Understanding different funding systems
Developing stakeholder communication skills
Learning Assistive Technology prescription progressively
Managing your diary and caseload effectively
Recognising when you need assistance
Gradually increasing clinical complexity as your competency develops
As you progress, your caseload and responsibilities progress with you.
A Team That Invests in You

Your development may include:
Weekly clinical education
Structured 1:1 mentoring
Internal case conferences
Shadowing opportunities
Joint assessments where appropriate
Clinical reasoning sessions
Report-writing support
Assistive Technology mentoring
Neurological OT mentoring
Occupational rehabilitation mentoring
Medicolegal supervision as you progress
Complex case discussions
External professional development
Open-door support from senior clinicians
Most importantly,you are not expected to know what you haven't been taught yet.
We want you to ask questions.
What You'll Be Doing
Initially, your role will focus on developing strong foundations in Occupational Therapy practice.
Depending on your caseload and stage of development, this may include:
Completing functional and occupational performance assessments
Assessing activities of daily living and independence
Developing goal-directed intervention programs
Working with participants in their homes and communities
Supporting clients with physical, neurological, cognitive and psychosocial presentations
Completing basic Assistive Technology assessments and progressing toward more complex prescription
Developing recommendations to improve independence, safety and participation

Preparing clinical reports and recommendations
Learning to navigate NDIS, DVA, Support at Home, WorkCover, CTP and other funding systems
Participating in multidisciplinary case discussions
Our Team Rules
Our approach is built around a few simple principles:
Staff come first.
Flexibility creates quality.
Therapists should develop in areas they genuinely enjoy.
Burnout prevention matters.
Asking for help is part of becoming a great clinician.
Being part of a team should genuinely feel like being part of a team.
We want our New Graduates to become confident, independent clinicians without feeling like they had to survive their first year to get there.
