This is an chance to work across a genuinely varied adult and older adult community Occupational Therapy caseload without being pushed into paediatric work.

The organisation supports clients across a broad range of presentations, making this particularly appealing for an OT who wants to build strong generalist adult skills.

Your Caseload: Approximately one-third of clients present with:
Psychosocial & Mental Health: Work with adults experiencing psychosocial disability and mental health conditions, with a strong emphasis on understanding their individual circumstances and building long-term therapeutic relationships.

ASD, ADHD & Cognitive Conditions: Support adults with neurodevelopmental and cognitive presentations across daily living, independence and functional capacity.

Physical, Neurological & Aged Care Work with clients experiencing conditions such as:

- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson's Disease
- Physical disability
- Falls and mobility concerns
- Age-related functional decline

Build Broad Adult OT Skills. Your work will include a mixture of:

- Functional Capacity Assessments
- Home modifications
- Assistive technology
- Equipment prescription
- ADL assessments
- Housing assessments
- Falls prevention




- Ramps and rails
- Bathroom and shower modifications

Most home modification referrals involve the fundamentals such as rails, showers and access modifications, alongside occasional opportunities to work on more complex cases.

A Balanced Week: This isn't a role where you're expected to fit endless appointments into every day.

Some days may involve multiple appointments, while another day could largely be dedicated to completing reports.

Work Locally: Around 90% of clients are within Wollongong and the Illawarra , with the majority located within approximately 30 minutes of the base.

You'll also have flexibility to complete reports from home and travel directly to appointments when appropriate.

Brand-New Clinic & Growing Team: You'll be joining a smaller independent organisation with:

- Brand-new Wollongong premises
- Experienced OT leadership + junior OTs
- Administration support
- Allied Health Assistant support
- Growing referral demand
- Opportunity to develop alongside the team

The practice places particular importance on compassion, empathy and the therapeutic relationship , allowing clinicians to properly understand the people they are supporting.

About You You'll ideally bring:

- AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- An interest in adult and older adult OT
- Strong report-writing skills
- Driver's licence and vehicle
- Full Australian working rights
