Kickstart your OT career with our highly regarded New Graduate program!

More flexibility. More clinical freedom. More opportunities to grow. And more time to enjoy life outside of work. At Wide Bay Therapy, we believe that great occupational therapy starts with clinicians who feel valued, supported and genuinely enjoy coming to work.

We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about making a difference, enjoys being part of a collaborative team and wants to build a rewarding, sustainable career in private practice.

This role offers the right OT the chance to learn across a range of clinical caseloads, age groups, and funding types. You will build your skills and experience in paediatrics, home modifications, functional assessments, assistive technologies, and mental health.

Here's what makes working with us different.

A sustainable workload – only 65% billable hours

That's right. Just 65% of your working week is allocated to billable work, leaving the remaining time for non-billable responsibilities, learning and developing as a clinician. We believe quality clinical care takes time, and you should have that time within your working week.

Flexibility that works for your life

Your career should complement your life, not consume it. We encourage flexible working arrangements, personalised scheduling and the opportunity to work from home on non-clinical days. We understand that everyone has different personal commitments and priorities, and we want to help you find a working arrangement that suits. A nine-day fortnight is encouraged.

Real clinical support, whenever you need it

You'll be surrounded by experienced and approachable clinicians who value collaboration, clinical reasoning and sharing knowledge. You'll have access to weekly individualised supervision, fortnightly peer supervision, onsite clinical support and structured professional development opportunities. You are supported every day and have access to immediate knowledge and experience.

And when it comes to administration? Our experienced Practice Manager and administration team are there to support you, alongside our Occupational Therapy Assistant, so you can spend more time doing the clinical work you love.

What you'll enjoy as part of our team

- $75,000–$90,000 annual salary depending on experience,



with remuneration packages open to discussion. Plus superannuation.

- 65% billable workload expectations, supporting sustainable clinical practice.

- Flexible working arrangements available and encouraged. Our full-time employees love their 9-day fortnights.

- Work-from-home options for suitable non-clinical duties.

- Company vehicle provided for home visits and community access.

- Generous professional development budget, tailored to your clinical interests and career aspirations.

- A day off on your birthday!

- Individualised supervision and mentoring, with experienced clinicians readily available. Peer supervision with your team scheduled fortnightly.

- Dedicated administrative and OT Assistant support to help you manage your workload. They will handle all scheduling, administrative duties, and invoicing.

- Gentle and comprehensive onboarding with realistic KPIs and timeframes to settle into your new career.

- Technology and equipment provided to help you work efficiently and effectively.

A workplace where you'll feel part of something positive

We know that workplace culture matters. At Wide Bay Therapy, we believe in working hard, supporting one another, celebrating achievements and having a laugh along the way.

We're a close-knit team where people are encouraged to share their ideas, ask questions, keep learning and genuinely enjoy their work.

Our values guide how we work together and care for our community:

- Striving to learn.

- Being consistent and dependable.

- Being nurturing and understanding.

- Being grateful to serve our community.

We want our team members to feel comfortable being themselves, confident in their clinical skills and proud of the difference they're making. And yes, we also have the beautiful clinic, garden views, team lunches, culture days and a great coffee machine!

But what really matters to us is creating a workplace where people feel respected,



valued and supported to succeed.

Don't just take our word for it

“I joined Wide Bay Therapy via their new graduate program in Jan 2026. Every step of the way I have felt supported and valued. Their onboarding and development program is comprehensive, ensuring that you are well equipped. The caseload is built gently and with careful consideration, ensuring that you don’t become overwhelmed or burnt out. It has been an amazing first year.”
