About the role An experienced Occupational Therapist role working with complex presentations and overlapping comorbidities within the NDIS system. You'll see clients who need someone comfortable sitting in that complexity rather than referring it on. Minimum 3 days a week, with full-time available given the size of the waitlist.
Pain OTs work at the forefront of pain science, planning care alongside experienced Physios and an ACP Specialist in women's, men's and pelvic health, so you're never working a complex case solo.

About us Evolving Pain is a clinic built to be the team we wished we'd had: a team who gets complexity, so no clinician has to figure it out alone. Pain OTs and Physios work at the forefront of pain science.
Clinical excellence is non-negotiable, and we're involved in clinical trials and teaching. Pain is culturally sensitive, and our team reflects the people we see.
