Manage your caseload with autonomy and flexibility.

Maintain clear clinical documentation, professional reports and communication with clients, families and other professionals.

AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist, or eligibility to obtain Australian registration.

The ability and willingness to work with both adults and children.

Strong communication, assessment and report-writing skills.

A practical, person-centered approach.

The ability to work independently while contributing to a supportive team.
