About 365 Rehab
365 Rehab is changing what it means to work as a Rehabilitation Consultant.
As an independent provider, you won't be confined to one service type, one injury type, or the same assessment on repeat.
You'll work across occupational rehabilitation, functional assessment and return to work, with genuine variety across Workers Compensation and CTP schemes in NSW.
We're a multidisciplinary team, andyou won't be the only Occupational Therapist.
You'll work alongside other OTs, Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation Counsellors, Psychologists and other allied health professionals, with the opportunity to learn from different disciplines while developing your own clinical interests.
There are also opportunities to broaden your scope beyond occupational rehabilitation, including work within ouraged care services, depending on your interests and experience.

New graduates are encouraged to apply.Occupational rehabilitation experience isn't required, and we'll train you from the ground up.
For an OT, the role can be particularly varied.
Your caseload will be mixed and, depending on your experience and interests, may include rehabilitation case management, workplace assessments, functional capacity assessments, activities of daily living assessments, equipment and workplace modification recommendations, and Same Employer and New Employer return to work services.
You'll be supported by experienced clinicians and other Occupational Therapists as you build confidence.
You won't be expected to arrive knowing occupational rehabilitation on day one.
Most importantly, you'll join a team that's empowered to use clinical judgement and evidence-based practice, without unreasonable KPIs dictating how you work.
What You'll Actually Do
Manage amixed and varied caseloadacross Workers Compensation and CTP schemes in NSW.
Conduct Initial Needs Assessments and develop individualised rehabilitation plans.
Complete Workplace Assessments and identify practical strategies to support safe and sustainable return to work.
Conduct functional assessments, including Functional Capacity Evaluations, with senior support as you build experience.

Recommend appropriate equipment, modifications and support strategies.
Work across Same Employer and New Employer rehabilitation services.
Liaise directly with clients, employers, insurers, doctors and treating health professionals.

You'll see the reasoning behind decisions, not just the outcome, and build a genuine understanding of how the system actually works.
Why Occupational Therapy at 365 Rehab?
Occupational Therapy fits naturally within occupational rehabilitation because the job is ultimately aboutfunction, participation and environment.
That might mean assessing someone's workplace one day, completing an ADL assessment the next, assessing functional capacity, recommending equipment or modifications, working through return to work barriers with an employer, or coordinating with a treating team to progress someone's recovery.
And your development doesn't have to stop at occupational rehabilitation.
As 365 Rehab continues to grow its broader services, there are opportunities for Occupational Therapists who want to maintain and develop skills in areas such asaged care, home-based functional assessment, equipment and environmental modification, alongside their occupational rehabilitation caseload.
If you're a new graduate looking for somewhere to build a broad foundation, or an experienced OT looking for more variety and room to develop, we'd like to hear from you.
