- Full Time, Part Time

24 Oct 2026

Description

SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy is a growing independent clinic in Maroochydore focused on sports and load-related injuries, running injuries, bone stress injuries, tendinopathy, adolescent athletes, post-operative rehabilitation and return to sport.

We've recently expanded into a purpose-built rehabilitation facility, giving us the space and equipment to take patients from initial assessment through progressive rehabilitation, strength and conditioning and return to performance.

We're looking for a physiotherapist who wants to develop a strong sports and musculoskeletal caseload, think critically and become an established part of the Sunshine Coast sporting community.

We like clinicians who think

Clinical reasoning is central to how we work.

We enjoy working through challenging presentations, developing and testing hypotheses, reassessing and adapting when the clinical picture doesn't fit. We want clinicians who are curious about why someone isn't progressing and are prepared to change direction rather than simply follow a treatment template.

Just as importantly, we value communication. Patients should understand what you've found, what you're working on and where their rehabilitation is heading.

You'll have regular mentoring and the opportunity to discuss cases, develop your reasoning and continue building your skills in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy.

The work

You'll work predominantly with active and sporting populations across:

Sports and running-related injuries





Bone stress injuries

Tendinopathy

Post-operative rehabilitation

Strength and conditioning

Objective testing

Return-to-sport rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation facility includes a dedicated gym, commercial cardio and gait-analysis equipment, strength equipment and VALD testing technology, allowing rehabilitation to progress well beyond the treatment room.

We also deliver ONERO® for osteoporosis and osteopenia, with opportunities to become involved in this area if it interests you.

Build a caseload around the work you want to do

We want this role to give you the opportunity to develop your own professional identity and become known for the areas of physiotherapy that interest you.

You'll be encouraged and supported to build relationships with GPs, specialists, coaches, gyms and sporting organisations, communicate with referrers and connect with the sporting populations you want to work with.

There are also opportunities for sports and event coverage, professional networking and creating educational content around your clinical interests.

We're looking for someone with initiative who wants to take ownership of their caseload and play an active role in growing it.

You might be a great fit if you:

Love sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy

Enjoy clinical reasoning and problem-solving





Have strong assessment and communication skills

Enjoy progressive loading and gym-based rehabilitation

Reassess and adapt rather than treating from a template

Take ownership of your patients and their progress

Want to take patients beyond pain relief and back to performance

Are proactive about developing your caseload and professional network

Are curious, coachable and open to feedback

We're open to experienced clinicians as well as early-career physiotherapists with strong foundations, initiative and a genuine drive to develop in sports rehabilitation. You don't need to know everything on day one, but you do need to want to learn.

The role can befull-time or substantial part-timeand includes:

- Competitive remuneration + super
- Performance-based bonuses
- Career development allowance
- Regular mentoring and case discussion
- Reception and administrative support
- Opportunities for sports and event involvement
- The prospect to develop your own areas of clinical interest within the clinic

Current AHPRA registration and Australian working rights are required.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship.

We'd love your cover letter to tell us a little aboutthe kind of physiotherapist you are, the sporting or clinical areas you're most interested in, how you'd like to develop your career, and how you see yourself building a caseload and professional network on the Sunshine Coast.

We're particularly interested in people who enjoy thinking critically, taking ownership of their patients and contributing to the growth of the practice.
