Not All Graduate Programs Are Created Equal.

At Your Family OT, we don't believe new graduates should be thrown into the deep end and expected to sink or swim.

We believe exceptional Occupational Therapists are developed through mentorship, meaningful clinical experiences, genuine support, and the opportunity to build confidence before being expected to manage large caseloads independently.

That's why we've created a structured 12-month New Graduate Occupational Therapist Program, designed around one simple philosophy:

Building Competence Before Capacity.

If you're looking for the support, supervision and professional development often associated with hospital graduate programs, combined with the clinical variety, autonomy and accelerated growth available in community practice, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Your Family OT?

We know there are plenty of graduate opportunities available.

Many organisations promise support but expect graduates to quickly achieve full billable targets and manage increasingly complex caseloads independently.

Our approach is different.

We're not looking for someone to simply fill a role.

We're looking for future clinicians, future leaders and future mentors.

We invest heavily in our graduates because we know confident, capable Occupational Therapists achieve the best outcomes for participants and experience greater professional satisfaction throughout their careers.

To ensure every graduate receives meaningful mentoring and access to senior clinicians, our 2027 intake is limited to just four graduates.

What Makes Your Family OT Different?

At Your Family OT, we are privileged to work alongside an incredible group of participants and families.





Our clinicians don't simply provide therapy.

They become trusted members of participants' support teams.

We are seeking graduates who genuinely care about people, want to build meaningful relationships, and are committed to helping individuals achieve outcomes that matter to them.

Our team values:

- Clinical Excellence

- Authentic Relationships

- Professional Growth

- Innovation

- Collaboration

- Compassion

Many of our most successful clinicians began their journey with us as students, Allied Health Assistants or emerging practitioners before progressing into highly skilled Occupational Therapists.

This Is More Than a Graduate Year

For the right person, this is the beginning of a long-term career pathway.

Future opportunities may include:

- Senior Occupational Therapist

- Clinical Lead

- Team Leadership

- Specialist Clinical Pathways

- Service Development Projects

- Graduate Mentorship & Supervision

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking graduates who:

- Are completing or have recently completed a Bachelor or Masters qualification in Occupational Therapy

- Are eligible for AHPRA registration

- Have a genuine passion for supporting people with disability

- Demonstrate robust communication and relationship-building skills

- Are eager to learn and embrace feedback

- Are motivated to continually improve their clinical practice

- Want to become exceptional Occupational Therapists, not simply meet KPIs

Most importantly, we're looking for people who care.

Technical skills can be taught.

The ability to connect with people, recognise strengths, support individuals through challenges and advocate for meaningful outcomes is what makes a truly great Occupational Therapist.

Ready to Begin Your Career?

We don't want you to simply survive your graduate year.

We want you to thrive.

Join a team that believes the best clinicians are developed through support, mentorship, opportunity and meaningful clinical experiences.
