Job Description
Build a career that feels like your own.
n
At Lithgow Physiotherapy, we're looking for an experienced physiotherapist—or someone ready to take the next step—to become the lead clinician in our established Lithgow practice.
n
This is a little different from the typical private practice role.
n
You'll have genuine autonomy over your clinical work, an established patient and referral base, and the opportunity to become a well‐known and trusted physio within the Lithgow community.
n
You'll work independently day‐to‐day, but you won't be on your own. You'll have regular support, mentoring and clinical oversight from an experienced practice owner.
n
You focus on being a great physio. We'll support everything around you.
n
What makes this role different?
n
We aren't looking for someone to simply fill a diary.
n
We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of their clinical work and build something they're proud of.
n
You will be trusted to manage your own caseload, develop relationships with local referrers and patients, and shape the way you practise.
n
There are no layers of management and no need to compete for patients or opportunities within a large clinical team.
n
You're the lead clinician.
n
And while you'll have that independence, the systems, administration and business support are already there behind you.
n
It's an opportunity to enjoy many of the best parts of private practice—autonomy, responsibility, strong earning potential and professional recognition—without needing to own the business yourself.
n
Your day, your patients, your clinical decisions
n
You will manage a varied private practice caseload including:
n
n
Musculoskeletal conditions
n
Sports injuries
n
WorkCover and CTP
n
DVA
n
Medicare care plans
n
Post-operative rehabilitation
n




Persistent pain
n
General private patients
n
n
We want you thinking clinically, communicating well and doing what's right for the person in front of you.
n
We value positive outcomes and great patient care over simply chasing numbers.
n
Who would thrive here?
n
You don't necessarily need to have "Lead Physiotherapist" on your current job title.
n
We're more interested in finding the right person.
n
You might already be a senior physio who's ready for greater independence.
n
You might be working in a larger clinic and wondering what the next step looks like.
n
Or perhaps you've considered running your own practice but realised that what you really enjoy is being a clinician.
n
You will probably suit us if you're someone who:
n
n
Enjoys working independently
n
Takes ownership of their patients and outcomes
n
Builds genuine relationships with people
n
Communicates confidently with GPs and other referrers
n
Values evidence-based, active rehabilitation
n
Wants to keep developing clinically
n
Can ask for help when they need it
n
Takes pride in doing a good job
n
n
Autonomy without isolation
n
Being the lead clinician doesn't mean being left to figure everything out yourself.
n
You'll have regular access to the practice owner for clinical discussion, mentoring and support, while still having the space to develop your own clinical style.
n
We want someone we can trust—and who feels trusted in return.




n
And yes, we want you to be well rewarded
n
Taking on a lead clinical role should come with appropriate recognition.
n
We offer a competitive remuneration package with the opportunity to earn an excellent income based on your clinical performance.
n
We can discuss the structure with the right person and are open to finding an arrangement that rewards someone who wants to make the role their own.
n
You will also have:
n
n
Professional development support
n
Administrative support
n
An established clinic and referral network
n
Flexibility around working arrangements
n
Regular mentoring and clinical support
n
Genuine independence in your clinical practice
n
n
Why Lithgow?
n
There's something different about practising physiotherapy in a regional community.
n
You get to know people.
n
Patients come back to you.
n
Families refer their friends.
n
GPs know who you are.
n
And over time, you don't just build a caseload—you build a reputation.
n
Outside work, Lithgow offers affordable living, short commutes and easy access to the Blue Mountains, with bushwalking, mountain biking, climbing, camping and plenty of space on your doorstep.
n
You don't have to own a practice to build something you're proud of.
n
That's really what this opportunity is about.
n
Come in, take ownership of the clinical side of an established practice, build a loyal patient following and be rewarded for doing great work.
n
We'll provide the infrastructure, administration, mentoring and support behind you.
n
You bring the clinical skills, personality and drive to make the role your own.
n
If that sounds like the next step you've been looking for, we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
