We are looking for a Telehealth Occupational Therapist to join our wonderful team.

Occupational Therapist Telehealth

Picture this…… it’s 9am and you’ve just sat down with a hot cup of tea at your desk at home.

Your dishwasher & washing machine are humming away in the background. (Is it just us or does it feel so productive to have two appliances going?)

You open up your computer and get ready for your first client.perhaps a child working on fine motor skills, or an adult needing a shower chair after a recent hip fracture. No two days look the same.

Meanwhile, in rural Australia, your clients are logging on to their appointments with you - virtually. On the ground in Parkes, you have a dedicated Allied Health Assistant who is supporting clients to log on, and is helping to keep them engaged and on track during their session.

After connecting with your clients from the comfort of your own home, it's time to jump on a call with one of your colleagues - A physiotherapist or Speech Pathologist to discuss a mutual client.

You are making a difference in the lives of rural communities all whilst working from home — no travel costs, no commuting, and no barriers

You have a flexible working arrangement. You choose your own hours and working days across a minimum of 3 days per week, so there's never any need to ask permission to go to your kids' school concert. You also have access to unlimited support from a wider team of multidisciplinary therapists.

Every two months, you'll travel to our primary clinical location in Parkes, New South Wales for a face-to-face block — with all travel and accommodation costs fully covered by us. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect in person with your clients and your team,



attend professional development, and experience the community you're making an impact in.
