About Movement Matters Therapy

Movement Matters Therapy is an allied health practice based in Alice Springs / Mparntwe, on Arrernte Country. We provide Exercise Physiology, Paediatric Physiotherapy, Allied Health Assistance, and Hydrotherapy services across the lifespan.

We take time to understand what matters to each person, what helps them feel safe, and how movement can fit into their everyday life. We work alongside clients, families, carers and local services, delivering care in our clinic, people’s homes and community settings. Working in Central Australia also means respecting culture, listening to local knowledge and recognising our responsibility to keep learning from Aboriginal people and communities. Through these relationships, we work to improve access to allied health care across the region.

We’re proud to be the only Exercise Physiology clinic in Central Australia. Our work goes beyond individual sessions, building relationships with people, families and communities who have often faced barriers to accessing care.

Joining Movement Matters Therapy means being part of something that matters.



You’ll bring your skills and ideas to a growing team, helping expand access to care and shape the future of Exercise Physiology in our region.

The Role

This role offers clinical variety, from neurological rehabilitation and chronic condition management to Reformer Pilates, hydrotherapy and occasional remote outreach. You’ll have opportunities to broaden your skills and apply them across different settings.

Your work will include:

· Supporting people living with chronic health conditions

· Working with people with neurological conditions and disability

· Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation

· Supporting healthy ageing and falls prevention

· Working with people experiencing injury and persistent pain

· Mental health-focused exercise programs

· Hydrotherapy sessions

· Occasional outreach into remote communities

You will work across our clinic, community settings and hydrotherapy facilities. Full-time and part time options are available, with flexible arrangements considered for the right candidate.

Your Growth, Supported

We are invested in your development. You will receive weekly one-on-one mentoring from our senior Exercise Physiologists, fortnightly internal and external CPD sessions, and regular clinical supervision within a multidisciplinary team. Whether you are early in your career or looking to deepen your expertise, we will work with you to build a development plan around your goals.

You will also have opportunities to shape your caseload, develop special interests and contribute to the growth of Exercise Physiology in Central Australia.

You’ll join a team that values the ideas, strengths and experience each person brings. We share knowledge, talk through challenges, ask questions and help each other,



working together to support our clients and community.

From the Team

“I love the clients we work with here. Their complex presentations make the work an enjoyable challenge, and they’re genuinely lovely people. Working here has brought me back to why I became an EP in the first place: helping people get their bodies to do as much as possible. I’ve also loved moving back to the country, where people genuinely want to help and look out for each other.”

- Amanda, Team Leader and Senior Exercise Physiologist
