Why you’ll love this role
- 15 contracted hours per week across two to three days.
- Flexibility when arranging your working days.
- Potential for additional hours as client demand grows.
- Hybrid role combining community visits, telehealth and working from home.
- $37.76–$50.00 per hour plus superannuation, depending on experience.
- Paid travel time, documentation, report writing, administration and meetings.
- Work-related kilometre reimbursement.
- Paid cancelled appointments.
- An existing NDIS client waitlist, allowing you to begin developing your caseload.

About the role
You’ll deliver evidence-based Occupational Therapy services to NDIS participants across the Perth metropolitan area.
The caseload primarily includes children aged six and above and adults with neurodivergence, intellectual disability and psychosocial or mental-health-related support needs.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Conducting initial and comprehensive Occupational Therapy assessments.
- Providing ongoing therapy and evidence-based interventions.
- Completing Functional Capacity Assessments.
- Preparing NDIS progress, review and clinical reports.
- Conducting assistive technology assessments and making recommendations.
- Completing home modification assessments.
- Providing sensory assessments and interventions.
- Developing practical strategies to support daily living, independence and community participation.
- Liaising with families, support workers, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders.
- Participating in case conferences and multidisciplinary discussions.
- Delivering services in participant homes, schools, community settings and through telehealth.
- Maintaining accurate, timely and compliant electronic client records.
The current community caseload spans Alkimos to Rockingham. Applicants must therefore be comfortable travelling throughout the Perth metropolitan service area. Travel time is paid and work-related kilometres are reimbursed.
Existing participants are available, with the remainder of your caseload developed gradually as referrals increase.
About you
You’ll be a compassionate, adaptable and reliable Occupational Therapist who communicates well, produces high-quality clinical documentation and feels confident managing responsibilities independently in a community setting.
A minimum of one year of post-graduate Occupational Therapy experience is required, with two or more years preferred.

- Community-based Occupational Therapy.
- NDIS-funded services.
- Functional Capacity Assessments.
- Neurodivergence and intellectual disability.
- Psychosocial disability and mental health.
- Assistive technology assessments.
- Home modification assessments.
- Paediatric or adult therapy services.

To be considered, you will need:
- A recognised qualification in Occupational Therapy.
- Current general registration as an Occupational Therapist with AHPRA.
- At least one year of post-graduate Occupational Therapy experience.
- A current Australian driver’s licence.
- Access to a reliable vehicle for community appointments.
- Strong written communication and clinical-reporting skills.
- The ability to manage your time and caseload autonomously.
- Unrestricted Australian working rights without requiring employer sponsorship.
The successful candidate must also hold, or be willing and eligible to obtain, the checks and credentials required for the caseload. These may include:
- NDIS Worker Screening Check.
- Working with Children Check.
- National Police Clearance.
- Comprehensive vehicle insurance.
- Medicare provider number, if required.
Remuneration and conditions
Remuneration is $37.76–$50.00 per hour plus superannuation, depending on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience.
Paid working time includes approved client appointments, travel time, report writing, documentation, administration, meetings and cancelled appointments. Work-related kilometres are also reimbursed.
The preferred commencement date is from 7 September 2026, although flexibility is available for the right candidate.
