About Us
At Strengthen Up Physiotherapy, our mission is simple: to help people move better, feel stronger, and stay active for life. We provide evidence-based physiotherapy services that combine hands-on treatment with strength-focused rehabilitation to achieve long-term results rather than short-term fixes. Our clinic values are built around
Strengthening, Unlocking, and Prospering
- helping our patients build resilience, regain confidence, and thrive through movement and education.
We work with a diverse range of clients, including athletes, active adults, workers, post-surgical patients, and individuals managing persistent pain conditions.
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated and passionate Physiotherapist to join our growing team as a
subcontractor
across two clinic locations with a minimum of 1-2 years of physio experience. This role is ideal for a clinician who enjoys combining hands-on treatment with exercise-based rehabilitation and is committed to delivering outstanding patient outcomes with a willingness to learn.
As a subcontractor, you will have the autonomy to manage and grow your own caseload while benefiting from the support of an established clinic, strong referral pathways, modern facilities, and a collaborative team environment.
You will assess, diagnose, and manage a broad range of musculoskeletal and sporting conditions while empowering patients through education, movement, and personalised rehabilitation programs.
For clinicians with an interest in sport, there's ongoing opportunities to become involved with local sporting clubs and weekend sports coverage. While not a requirement of the role, an interest in AFL and strength-based athletic development will be highly regarded.
Key Responsibilities
Take on a current and partially established caseload, supported by our Head Physiotherapist.
Assess and treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions.
Deliver hands-on therapy where appropriate, including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisations/manipulations, and dry needling.




Prescribe and progress individualised strength-based rehabilitation programs.
Modify training loads and exercises to allow clients to continue training while recovering from injury.
Educate, motivate, and empower clients through evidence-based rehabilitation and coaching.
Build strong relationships with clients and help them achieve meaningful long-term outcomes.
Maintain accurate clinical notes and manage your caseload professionally as an independent contractor.
Collaborate with other health professionals and referral networks.
Partner with the Head Physiotherapist to provide physiotherapy support for AFL sporting commitments, with the opportunity to share weekend coverage on an alternating-weekend basis.
At Strengthen Up Physiotherapy, we don't tell people to stop training. We use clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice to adapt movement, modify loads, and keep our patients progressing toward their goals throughout the rehabilitation process.
Conduct comprehensive physiotherapy assessments and develop individualised treatment plans.
Diagnose and treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal, sports, and orthopaedic conditions.
Take on a new and partially established caseload, supported by our Head Physiotherapist.
Deliver evidence-based manual therapy and rehabilitation interventions, including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisations/manipulations, and dry needling where appropriate.
Design, prescribe, and progress strength, mobility, and rehabilitation programs tailored to each patients's goals.
Modify training loads and exercises to allow clients to continue training while recovering from injury.
Manage post-operative rehabilitation programs and return-to-activity planning.
Educate patients on injury management, pain science, self-management strategies, and long-term injury prevention.




Motivate and empower patients through evidence-based rehabilitation and coaching.
Maintain accurate clinical documentation and patient records.
Collaborate with referring practitioners and other health professionals to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Build strong relationships with clients and contribute to a positive clinic culture focused on patient care, growth, and continuous improvement.

Flexible working arrangements and competitive remuneration.
Our Ideal Candidate
You genuinely care about helping people achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes. You believe in empowering patients through education, exercise and active rehabilitation, and are committed to continuous learning and clinical excellence.
You value honest communication, teamwork and personalised care, and take pride in helping patients reduce pain, build strength, improve their movement and return to the activities they love with confidence. A genuine interest in exercise, strength and sports is highly valued.
Join Strengthen Up Physio and be part of a team helping people become stronger, move with confidence and stay stronger for longer.
