Shape your own role. Build something from scratch. Do it in one of Victoria's best lifestyle regions.
n
This isn't a role where you slot into someone else's system. Traralgon's well‐established multidisciplinary clinic has created a brand new OT position - and they want the right person to help design how it runs. The caseload, the workflow, the day‐to‐day rhythm - there's genuine flexibility to build this in a way that works for you.
n
The clinic owner is hands‐on, approachable and genuinely open to ideas. If you've ever wanted autonomy without feeling like you're on your own, this is it.
n
The role
n
You'll work across a mixed generalist caseload covering:
n
n
- Adults and paediatrics
n
- Community and clinic‐based appointments
n
- Functional and general OT assessments
n
- A broad range of presentations and conditions
n
n
Some community travel is part of the role (schools, aged care facilities, home visits), so a driver's licence is needed. Down the track, if you're interested, there may also be an opportunity to mentor junior OTs as the team grows – though that's entirely optional.
n
This role suits you if you
n
n
- Enjoy variety and are confident managing a broad caseload independently
n
- Like making clinical decisions without having to run everything past someone
n
- Want to genuinely shape a service rather than just fill a seat
n
- Value being part of a team that actually supports each other

About the Employer
n
Traralgon sits in the heart of Gippsland – one of Victoria's most liveable regions. Here's why people who move there tend to stay:
n
n
- Lifestyle – national parks, lakes, hiking trails and beaches all within reach on weekends. A relaxed pace without sacrificing convenience.
n
- Affordability – housing costs a fraction of Melbourne. Your salary goes considerably further.
n
- Community – excellent schools, a growing café and dining scene, sporting clubs and a genuine sense of neighbourhood that's hard to find in a city.
n
- Connected – Melbourne is accessible by train or car, so regional living doesn't mean being cut off.
