Joint Vision Orthopaedic Group – Wollongong NSW
Join an award-winning multidisciplinary orthopaedic centre that brings specialist consultation, imaging, allied health, treatment and rehabilitation together in one place.
Joint Vision Orthopaedic Group is seeking a hand therapist to join our growing allied health team for two days per week.

We provide regular mentoring, professional development and opportunities for the role to grow according to your experience and areas of interest.
