Support Healthier Lives Through Specialist Lymphoedema Care Western District Health Service (WDHS) is seeking a qualified and motivated Lymphoedema Therapist to join our Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology team.

This is an Allied Health-led position within the Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology Department; however, we welcome applications from appropriately qualified Allied Health Professionals, Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses who have recognised lymphoedema training and experience.

Based at our Penshurst Campus, you will deliver high-quality lymphoedema assessment, monitoring and management services through the innovative Healthy Limbs Club Program, a unique WDHS initiative supporting people living with lymphoedema and oedema-related conditions within the community.

This rewarding role offers the opportunity to work closely with clients, families and multidisciplinary teams while contributing to service development, clinical excellence and improved health outcomes across the region. You will play an important role in helping clients maintain independence, optimise limb health and access the support services they need.





Working collaboratively with the Oedema Management Program Co-ordinator and broader healthcare team, you will contribute to the ongoing growth and success of WDHS's lymphoedema services.

What You'll Be Doing Clinical Assessment & Management Provide comprehensive, evidence-based assessment, monitoring and management of upper and lower limb lymphoedema and oedema-related conditions, ensuring high-quality client-centred care.

Deliver services through the Healthy Limbs Club, a free community-based program that supports assessment, monitoring, skin health management, education and referral pathways for people living with lymphoedema and oedema-related conditions.

Person-Centred Care Work closely with clients and their families to develop individualised treatment and management plans that support wellbeing, independence and optimal health outcomes.

Partner with medical, nursing and allied health professionals, both within WDHS and externally, to provide coordinated, effective and holistic care.
