Are you an Early-Career Physio looking to take your skills to the next level while enjoying a coastal lifestyle - with built-in long weekends? At Spine & Sports Physiotherapy, we're looking for a motivated and friendly Physiotherapist (ideally with 2–5 years' experience) to join our growing team across our three South-West clinics: Bunbury (Arthur St), Bunbury (Anytime Fitness), and our new Donnybrook Clinic.

Whether you're an Australian-trained physio or an overseas-trained clinician looking to establish your career in Australia, we offer the mentoring, support and opportunities to help you become a confident, well-rounded physiotherapist.

We're looking for someone keen to settle into the South-West, become part of our team and build a rewarding long-term career.

Start date: November 2026 (negotiable).

Why You’ll Love This Role

- Work-Life Balance, Done Right - means guaranteed long weekends to rest, recharge, or explore the South-West. Perfect for travel, surfing and camping trips, or simply to fully enjoy a good Sunday session.
- Competitive Salary + Rewards - Earn $85–125K base salary (depending on experience) plus Quarterly Rewards through our commission system (40–50%), allowing you to potentially earn an extra $30–40K per year.
- $5,000 CPD Signing Bonus - Use it for Dry Needling, Clinical Pilates, Strength & Conditioning, or another skill you’re keen to develop.

- Mentoring & Professional Growth - Learn from senior physios with a structured mentoring and development program that supports you from day one.

What’s on Offer – Our Mentoring Program

- Introductory Shadowing – Spend your first two weeks shadowing other therapists to learn our approach and meet patients before seeing your own caseload.

- Research Reviews – Bi-monthly topic presentations reviewing the latest evidence.
- Group In-Service Training – Fortnightly 90-minute sessions to learn and practise new techniques together.

- Self-Directed Study – Dedicated learning time each month with access to platforms like Physio Network, PreHab Guys, Private Practice Apprenticeship, MAT Assessment, and Global Specialist Physio.
- Gradual Caseload Build-Up – Start with longer sessions and more admin breaks as you find your rhythm. Initial appointments begin at 60 mins, gradually moving to 40 mins; follow-ups remain 30 mins (or 20 mins if you’re confident and want to earn more).
- Mentoring Tailored to Your Experience – Whether you're an Australian-trained physio or an overseas-trained clinician adapting to Australian practice, we'll identify your strengths and areas for development, then tailor your mentoring to help you become a confident, independent clinician.

What It’s Like Working Here

“I started at Spine and Sports Physiotherapy as a new grad and absolutely love it here! I have grown a lot as a physiotherapist and it’s all thanks to Dan and the team! Dan made it possible for me to earn more than I expected as a new grad and is open and supportive of all my goals, so much so that I’ve achieved all my 3 year goals in 18 months!

We’ve even built a gym and pilates studio which was a goal I talked about in my interview! Next up is developing my business skills, working towards management and looking into buying into the practice.

I can’t wait to see where the next 3 years take me!”

— Leila, Physiotherapist

“My first year at Spine and Sports has been absolutely fantastic! The varied caseload has given me experience in many different fields, and the individualised mentoring sessions have been incredible for encouraging constant improvement, learning and self-reflection. I’ve especially appreciated the way that Dan has prioritised tailoring the position to suit my lifestyle.

There’s never been pressure to reduce appointment times - it’s all about ensuring that you’re learning as much as you can and feeling as comfortable as possible.”

— Tom, Physiotherapist

“I started straight out of Uni at Spine and Sports Physiotherapy as a new grad and so far it has been awesome! I have grown and learnt so much as a physio and the work environment here is excellent! I’ve experienced a few challenges in my personal life this year that disrupted my mental health and Dan and the team didn’t think twice of being accommodating to my situation.

I’m very glad I started my journey here in this practice as I feel very supported to learn as much as I can at my own pace to become a better physio for my patients whilst maintaining a healthy work-life environment.”

— Dina, Physiotherapist

“I recently began working at Spine and Sports following the completion of my physiotherapy degree, and the experience has been outstanding. The entire team is incredibly welcoming and consistently willing to share their knowledge and support my growth. We hold weekly professional development case conferences, which foster collaborative learning and allow us to continually improve as a team.

My mentors, Dan and Alex, have gone above and beyond in developing my clinical skills and equipping me with the tools needed to become an exceptional physiotherapist. The clinic strongly supports a healthy work–life balance, allowing me time for regular gym training and to maintain my sporting commitments alongside my professional development.”

— Kate, Physiotherapist
