Do meaningful work and be supported to do it well

“We contribute positively to the lives of people who need support to live a life they find meaningful.”

Luminary Community Services was created because too many people with disability were falling through the gaps, particularly people whose needs required more individualised, thoughtful support.

We believe everyone has the right to feel safe, to be heard and to lead a life that is meaningful to them. As an occupational therapist at Luminary, you will join a close-knit multidisciplinary team that cares about its participants, its work and one another.

We are welcoming occupational therapists to join us in early 2027. If you are approaching graduation, beginning your career or looking for your next opportunity, we would like to hear from you.

Your development shaped around you

Our person-centred approach starts with the people who work here.

We take the time to understand your strengths, how you learn and where you need support. Your onboarding and ongoing development are tailored to you, with training introduced at the right time and responsibilities graded to support your growth.

For new graduates, this includes shadowing, joint visits and protected learning time. Your caseload builds gradually as you develop your skills and confidence, with clear expectations and support as you work towards a full caseload.

You will have:

- Weekly formal clinical supervision to begin with, with a choice of clinical supervisor.

- Readily accessible informal clinical support throughout the working day.

- Separate monthly operational supervision with Mali McKie, in addition to your clinical supervision.

We want you to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing uncertainty and seeking guidance. Our commitment is to help you develop into a capable, confident practitioner who can build a meaningful career at Luminary.

The opportunity

We support a wide variety of NDIS participants. Your caseload can be shaped around your interests, skills and stage of practice, with opportunities to develop areas of professional interest over time.

In this role, you will:

- Complete occupational therapy assessments and develop practical,



person-centred recommendations within your experience and capability.

- Provide therapy that supports participation in everyday activities and helps people work towards goals that matter to them.

- Work collaboratively with participants, families, carers, support workers and other professionals.

- Prepare clear reports and recommendations that explain people’s functional needs and the supports that may help.

- Review outcomes, adapt your approach and maintain accurate clinical documentation.

A team that knows you and values your contribution
