Support Healthier Lives Through Specialist Lymphoedema Care
Western District Health Service (WDHS) is seeking a qualified and motivated Lymphoedema Therapist to join our Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology team.
This is an Allied Health-led position within the Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology Department; however, we welcome applications from appropriately qualified Allied Health Professionals, Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses who have recognised lymphoedema training and experience.
Based at our Penshurst Campus, you will deliver high-quality lymphoedema assessment, monitoring and management services through the cutting-edge Healthy Limbs Club Program, a unique WDHS initiative supporting people living with lymphoedema and oedema-related conditions within the community.
This rewarding role offers the opportunity to work closely with clients, families and multidisciplinary teams while contributing to service development, clinical excellence and improved health outcomes across the region. You will play an important role in helping clients maintain independence, optimise limb health and access the support services they need.
Working collaboratively with the Oedema Management Program Co-ordinator and broader healthcare team, you will contribute to the ongoing growth and success of WDHS's lymphoedema services.
What You'll Be Doing
Clinical Assessment & Management
Provide comprehensive, evidence-based assessment, monitoring and management of upper and lower limb lymphoedema and oedema-related conditions, ensuring high-quality client-centred care.

Person-Centred Care
Work closely with clients and their families to develop individualised treatment and management plans that support wellbeing, independence and optimal health outcomes.
Partner with medical, nursing and allied health professionals, both within WDHS and externally, to provide coordinated,



effective and holistic care.
Service Development & Quality Improvement
Support ongoing service improvement initiatives, contribute to program development activities and assist with maintaining resources, compression garment inventory and service delivery systems.

Maintain accurate and timely clinical records, statistics and documentation in accordance with professional standards, accreditation requirements and organisational policies.
Who Can Apply?
