Paediatric Occupational Therapist | Neurodevelopmental Rehabilitation
Western Melbourne | Brookfield, Ravenhall & Wyndham Vale
Full-time | Permanent | $85,000-$110,000 + super | 2+ years' experience
For the OT who wants to make therapy part of a child's real life
This isn't a role where paediatric therapy stops when the appointment ends.
You'll work with children and families across a specialist neurological rehabilitation service, helping young clients develop the skills, confidence and independence they need to participate at home, at school and in their community.
With
more than 90% of the paediatric caseload funded through the NDIS
, you'll have the opportunity to work within a genuinely disability-focused environment rather than a generalist paediatric clinic.
And because therapists organise their own diaries around what is most beneficial for each client, the role gives you room to think clinically about
where therapy needs to happen
, not simply where there happens to be an appointment room available.
The clinical environment
You'll join an established multidisciplinary service with dedicated rehabilitation facilities, including
private treatment rooms and large gym areas
, alongside home and community-based therapy.
The broader service brings together occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, exercise physiology, dietetics and allied health assistants, creating plenty of chance for collaborative care. The organisation also operates dedicated paediatric/neurodevelopmental services and provides therapy across clinic, home, community and telehealth settings.
Your caseload
More than
90% of the paediatric caseload is NDIS
, with a strong focus on neurological and developmental disability.
Depending on your clinical interests and experience, your work may involve:
Functional assessment and intervention
Supporting participation in everyday activities




Developing independence with routines and self-care
Cognitive and functional skill development
Sensory and regulation-related strategies
Upper-limb and fine motor intervention
Assistive technology assessment and prescription
Environmental and home-based assessment
Supporting families and carers with practical strategies
Working collaboratively with schools, support teams and other health professionals
NDIS-related functional and support assessments
The wider organisation's OT practice includes functional retraining, home modifications, assistive technology, cognitive intervention, upper-limb rehabilitation and SDA/SIL assessments, giving clinicians exposure to a broad range of practical rehabilitation work.
What we're looking for
This is an opportunity for an OT who can bring existing clinical experience to the team.
You'll need:
At least 2 years' occupational therapy experience
Full
AHPRA registration
Experience in paediatrics, NDIS and/or neurodisability
Strong clinical reasoning and assessment skills
Confidence working with children, families and support networks
The ability to work independently while contributing to a multidisciplinary team
A genuine interest in neurological and developmental rehabilitation
Female clinicians may be particularly well suited to this caseload, although
the organisation is open to both male and female applicants
.
New graduates are
not being considered for this agency-recruited position
.
What you'll receive
The salary range is
$85,000-$110,000 + super
, depending on experience.




But the real difference is in the wider employee offering:
$1,500 toward external professional development
Up to
3 days of study leave annually
Free access to selected external rehabilitation PD hosted by the organisation
Defined career pathways, leadership programs and clinical development opportunities
Clinical supervision and structured support
Peer support and an established multidisciplinary environment
Incentive payment program linked to client activity
Company vehicle option for eligible full-time therapists
Laptop and phone provided
Flexible working arrangements, with options to move towards a
9-day fortnight, 4.5-day week or 4-day week
once established
Wellbeing leave and Employee Assistance Program
Additional parental payment equivalent to a
6-week extension of the Government Parental Leave Pay scheme
Funded team social events and annual gala
Access to clinic gyms outside working hours

The organisation has been recognised nationally for its workplace culture and excellence in allied health, including recognition as a leading employer and for its outstanding contribution to the sector.
Western Melbourne, without the generic western-suburbs pitch
Your working area spans
Brookfield, Ravenhall and Wyndham Vale
, giving you access to one of Melbourne's rapidly developing western corridors.
Brookfield offers a quieter residential setting with established local amenities and bus connections, while Wyndham Vale brings together major shopping centres, cafés, parks, sporting facilities and access to Wyndham Vale Station. Ravenhall adds easy access to major road networks and the broader western Melbourne catchment.
It's a practical base for clinicians who want a strong community focus without spending their entire working week in a traditional clinic workplace.
