About Neurlight Occupational Therapy

Neurolight Occupational Therapy is a registered NDIS provider offering community-based occupational therapy services across Sydney.

We're looking for passionate and dedicated Occupational Therapists to join our growing team, supporting children, young people and adults in their everyday environments. Whether your experience is in paediatrics, adult disability or both, we'd love to hear from you!

We value genuine relationships, individual differences and strengths-based practice. Our focus is on providing thoughtful, practical and evidence-informed OT services that make a meaningful difference in people's everyday lives. As a growing practice, we're looking to connect with clinicians who share these values and are interested in growing alongside us.

Paediatric Community OT

- Deliver individualised OT intervention to children and young people aged 2–18.
- Provide therapy across homes, schools and early childhood settings.
