Workplace Rehabilitation Physiotherapist
Western Brisbane | 9-day fortnight | $85,000 – $100,000 + super | Full-time
If your physiotherapy experience is grounded in musculoskeletal care and you're interested in what happens
outside the clinic
, this could be a role worth considering.
We're recruiting for a
Workplace Rehabilitation Physiotherapist
to join an established occupational health and workplace rehabilitation team supporting employees across a range of blue-collar environments throughout western and inner Brisbane.
This is a role where your clinical knowledge is applied in the workplace — assessing how people move, understanding the physical demands of their roles, managing injuries and helping employees return to safe and sustainable work.
The role
You'll work across multiple workplace sites, generally visiting
two sites per day
, with the flexibility to work across the western Brisbane corridor through to the inner-north industrial areas.
The role is entirely workplace-based and focused on
adult workers and occupational rehabilitation
.
There is no paediatric caseload and no traditional high-volume private practice setup.
Your work will include:
Providing onsite physiotherapy assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for workplace injuries and musculoskeletal conditions
Conducting functional and physical assessments within the worker's actual work environment
Supporting early intervention and injury management
Developing practical rehabilitation and return-to-work strategies
Assessing work tasks, physical demands and functional capacity
Providing advice around suitable duties and safe work participation
Identifying injury risks and contributing to workplace injury prevention initiatives
Working alongside employers,



injury management teams and other health professionals where appropriate
Maintaining accurate clinical and rehabilitation documentation
Managing your own schedule across multiple workplace locations
The organisation has a strong focus on
evidence-based physiotherapy, early intervention, injury prevention and sustainable return-to-work outcomes
, with services delivered directly within workplaces rather than relying solely on traditional clinic-based care.
What makes this role different?
You won't be treating people in a consulting room all day.
You'll see the worker in the environment where their injury or physical demands actually occur.
That means understanding manual handling requirements, observing work tasks, considering functional capacity and translating your clinical recommendations into something practical for the worker and employer.
The broader team includes physiotherapists, occupational health professionals and psychologists, with the organisation operating across Australia in occupational health, injury prevention, rehabilitation and wellbeing.
What you'll bring
Minimum 2 years' physiotherapy experience
Current
AHPRA registration
Solid musculoskeletal assessment and treatment skills
An interest in, or experience with, workplace rehabilitation / occupational health




Confidence working independently across different workplace environments
Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills
Ability to adapt your approach to different workers, job demands and industries
Full Australian working rights
A current Australian driver's licence and reliable access to a vehicle, as travel between sites is required
Experience in occupational rehabilitation, workers compensation, functional capacity assessment, injury management or return-to-work programs would be highly regarded.
The practical details
Full-time position
9-day fortnight
Approximately
2 workplace sites per day
Flexible coverage across
western Brisbane through to inner Brisbane
Flexible
work-from-home options
Built-in administration time
Kilometres between workplace sites paid
No company vehicle provided
$85,000 – $100,000 + superannuation
, depending on experience
The organisation has been operating in occupational health since **** and has developed a national workplace health and rehabilitation presence.
Its Brisbane services include onsite physiotherapy, early intervention, injury prevention, return-to-work support, workplace assessments and occupational health programs.
Who this could suit
This could be a good fit for a physiotherapist who has built a solid
MSK foundation
and now wants to apply those skills in a more occupational setting.
You might currently be working in private practice, sports/MSK, occupational rehabilitation or another clinical environment and be interested in a role where the focus is less on back-to-back appointments and more on
functional rehabilitation, workplace assessment and helping people stay at or return to work
.
