Job Description
Occupational Therapist — Traralgon VIC | Generalist | Newly Created Role
n
Permanent | Competitive Salary + PD
n
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
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




n
n
What's On Offer
n
n
Competitive salary, negotiable based on your experience
n
Multiple professional development opportunities throughout the year
n
Flexible workflow — you have real input into how your days are structured
n
Long-term growth potential within an established organisation with clinics across Australia
n
Supportive, flexible management who value your input
n
n
What You'll Need
n
n
General AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
n
Minimum 3 years of experience within the Australian or comparable healthcare system
n
Confident managing a mixed caseload independently
n
Solid communication and organisational skills
n
Driver's licence
n
n
Why Traralgon?
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
Lifestyle
n
National parks, lakes, hiking trails and beaches all within reach on weekends. A relaxed pace without sacrificing convenience.
n
Affordability
n
Housing costs a fraction of Melbourne. Your salary goes considerably further.
n
Community
n
Great 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
n
Melbourne is accessible by train or car, so regional living doesn't mean being cut off.
n
If you've been thinking about making a move out of the city, this is the kind of role and location that makes it easy to say yes.
