Your day-to-day
We predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting eg one morning you may be helping someone trial a new wheelchair as they go to their local cafe or helping someone cook independently or advising on some new assistive technology to make staying at home more comfortable and functional.
You may see 3 or 4 clients one day, then the next you’re working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training.
This role is ideal if you like to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days – meaning your individuality is recognised + you don’t miss family time or life after work.
Depending where you are living, we’ll tailor your caseload to service clients close to home. Your personalised admin support team will work with you to ensure you aren’t zigzagging around inefficiently.
Your role can be constructed as either full-time or part-time and we have a clinics in Toronto, Erina or Neutral Bay to be a home base for you.
You will be supported to confidently:
- Service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 yrs old and up)
- Support clients with a range of tasks such as life skills (budgeting, shopping, travel, cooking), pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy plus home assessments and modifications (initially minor and you can receive more training in complex mods)
- Complete comprehensive assessment and reporting eg initials, functional capacity, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Activities of Daily Living (ADL) & SIL or ILO
We see people living with lifelong disabilities, neurological conditions (MND, MS, Parkinsons, Stroke), TBI/ABI, Autism/ASD, amputations, hearing or vision impairments and more. You’ll service a varied caseload meaning lots of interesting things to learn and you’ll never get bored!
About You

- Current driver’s license with use of own vehicle
- You are passionate about working with adolescent and adult clients
- We have pathways for clinical specialisation and leadership opportunities for experienced clinicians plus tailored roles if you’re looking to return from parental leave
If you are a Senior or currently Supervising and you would like to complement managing your own caseload with leadership responsibilities, we are happy to discuss this as we have a team of experienced clinicians and new grads who would love to welcome another knowledgeable, experienced leader.

Your Career Development
Here are just a few of the ways that we support your career development:
- Your thorough Orientation will be supported by ongoing one on ones with your Supervisor to discuss your goals with a personalised CPD plan. We’ll help you set your learning goals and plan what you’d like to upskill in. For example, would you like to learn more about Mods, AT, Mental Health, Driving Assessments or develop your leadership skills?
- One on ones will be complemented with monthly inservices with other OT’s so you can learn from external presenters, share ideas, resources and stay up to date with any industry updates
