Join Acland Street Physiotherapy + Melbourne Running Clinic
Acland Street Physiotherapy and Melbourne Running Clinic
are looking for an experienced physiotherapist to join our growing team as a
paid contractor
.
We are particularly interested in someone with strengths or a developing interest in
MSK, sports, running injuries and ideally women's health
, including the opportunity to build a distinctive clinical niche within an established local practice.
There is
existing clinical work available
, so you do not need to arrive with your own caseload.
At the same time, we are looking for someone who wants more than simply filling appointment slots — someone interested in building a strong professional reputation across
Acland Street Physiotherapy and Melbourne Running Clinic
.
The opportunity
Through
Acland Street Physiotherapy
, you will work with a broad private MSK caseload in the heart of St Kilda. Through
Melbourne Running Clinic
, there is also the opportunity to develop expertise in running injury, rehabilitation and performance.
The role may suit a physiotherapist interested in:
Women's health and women's musculoskeletal presentations
Pelvic health, pregnancy and postnatal rehabilitation, if within your scope and training
Running injuries and gait assessment
Sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Strength and conditioning
Tendon rehabilitation
Return-to-running and return-to-sport rehabilitation
Reformer Pilates
Developing a recognised clinical niche
You will have the opportunity to treat an existing patient base while progressively developing the areas of practice that interest you most. For the right clinician, there is a particular opportunity to help us grow a stronger
women's health offering alongside our established MSK, sports and running services
.
Our Clinic
Our St Kilda clinic spans two suites and includes:
Two rehabilitation gyms
Running assessment technology
Modern strength,



rehabilitation and movement-analysis equipment
AI-assisted documentation through CliniScribe
You will also have access to:
An established and highly rated local clinic
Referral pathways through both Acland Street Physiotherapy and Melbourne Running Clinic
The opportunity to build a women's health niche within the broader clinic
Local sporting connections, including Old Melburnians Soccer Club
Support developing your clinical niche and patient base
Flexible working arrangements
Strong clinical autonomy
Potential future leadership or partnership opportunities
Our focus is on
clinical quality, patient experience, communication and long-term outcomes — not volume-based KPIs.
Mentoring and professional development
Acland Street Physiotherapy is led by
Barry Nguyen
, a physiotherapist with more than 20 years of MSK and sports experience, private practice owner, former software engineer and founder of healthcare AI company CliniScribe.
Depending on your interests, mentoring can include:
Clinical reasoning and complex MSK presentations
Running injury assessment and rehabilitation
Building and positioning a women's health or female athlete service
Developing a strong private practice caseload
Building and positioning a clinical niche
Patient experience and professional reputation
Strength and rehabilitation programming
Healthcare technology and AI-enabled practice
Private practice and business development
The contractor role
This is a
paid contractor position
with flexibility around days and hours.




The arrangement provides:
Existing clinical work
Competitive contractor remuneration
Clinical autonomy
Administrative and clinic support
Access to rehabilitation facilities and technology
Opportunity to grow your own following and areas of interest
Potential to expand your role as the clinic grows
Remuneration and structure will be discussed based on experience, availability and the nature of the role.
About you
You will ideally:
Hold general AHPRA registration as a physiotherapist
Be confident managing an MSK caseload
Have Australian private practice experience
Demonstrate strong clinical reasoning and communication
Have an interest in women's health, running, sport or active rehabilitation
Be professional, reliable and patient-centred
Have the right to work in Australia
Experience in
women's health, pelvic health, pregnancy/postnatal rehabilitation, running injuries, sports physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, Pilates or return-to-sport rehabilitation
would be highly regarded. Formal women's or pelvic health training would be particularly attractive, but is not essential if this is an area you are committed to developing.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who genuinely cares about becoming an excellent clinician and providing an outstanding patient experience.
Long-term potential
For the right practitioner, the role could develop into:
A solid and loyal private patient caseload
A recognised women's health, running or sports physiotherapy niche
Leadership within Melbourne Running Clinic
Sporting and community partnerships
Education and professional development opportunities
We are not simply looking for the next available physiotherapist.
We are looking for someone who wants to
build something meaningful, become known for excellent care and grow alongside the clinic.
