Good supervision shouldn't only happen when something has already gone wrong.
This established Newcastle paediatric clinic invests in regular clinical development, with
paid supervision every fortnight
alongside the day-to-day support available from experienced OTs within the service.
If you're an Occupational Therapist who wants to keep improving clinically rather than simply being handed a caseload and left alone, this environment will suit you.
Support Comes From More Than One Place. You'll have access to:
Fortnightly supervision
Occupational Therapists internally
Regular multidisciplinary team discussions
Peer case conversations throughout the week
Psychologists and Speech Pathologists within the service
$2,000 annual PD budget
Monthly clinical meetings
Opportunities to discuss challenging or interesting presentations
There is an open-door approach to questions.
If you want another perspective on a child, you don't need to save every question for your next formal supervision session.
Your Caseload: You'll work with children and adolescents aged approximately
2–18 years
across presentations including:
Autism
ADHD
Sensory processing
Emotional regulation
Executive functioning
Fine and gross motor skills
Self-care
Independence
School participation
Most clients present with
Level 1 or Level 2 Autism
, providing a robust foundation for continuing to develop your paediatric OT skills.
More complex presentations can be introduced depending on your experience and confidence.
A Manageable Mix of Clinic & School Work The week is generally:




50% clinic | 50% school/community
Most community appointments involve schools rather than routine home visits, and travel is generally within approximately
30 minutes of the clinic
.
Clinic appointments are usually structured as:
45 minutes with the child + 15 minutes documentation
This provides dedicated time for notes rather than expecting every appointment to run back-to-back.
