Are you an Occupational Therapist with 3–5 years’ experience who’s ready for more autonomy, influence, and impact?
Do you enjoy working in the community and want the opportunity to shape services, mentor others, and build something meaningful without stepping away from clinical work?

At Ability Action Australia, we’re offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced OT to play a key role in growing and strengthening our Cairns service, while still doing what you love: delivering great outcomes for NDIS participants.

Industry-leading salary, kilometre reimbursement, laptop, smartphone, and generous salary packaging.

✅ True Work–Life Balance
Enjoy a blended model of working from home& in the community, with control over how your week looks.

✅ Career Progression & Leadership Pathways
Perfect for OTs ready to step up — with opportunities to mentor junior clinicians, contribute to service development, and influence how care is delivered locally.

✅ Professional Development
PD allowance, tailored learning pathways, and access to ongoing development through Ability Action Australia and MedHealth.

✅ Clinical & Peer Support
Structured onboarding, regular clinical supervision, and collaboration within a supportive multidisciplinary team.

✅ Additional Benefits
Option to purchase extra leave, plus a generous staff referral program.

✅ Purpose-Driven Culture
Be part of a values-led organisation making a real difference in the lives of NDIS participants and the wider community.

About the Role

As a key OT you will:

Manage a community-based caseload aligned to your clinical interests and experience
Conduct comprehensive assessments across emotional, cognitive, developmental, psychosocial, and physical domains
Develop and implement individualised, evidence-based therapy plans
Provide environmental modification recommendations for homes, schools, workplaces, and supported living environments
Prescribe and support the implementation of Assistive Technology (AT) to promote independence and participation
Work collaboratively with families, support coordinators, and other health professionals
Ensure compliance with NDIS guidelines and relevant legislation

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
3–5 years of post-graduate experience, ideally within disability or community settings
Strong communication skills and confidence working with complex presentations
A proactive, client-centred approach and desire to help grow local services
Ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to a team culture
Interest in a preferred caseload area (e.g. paediatrics, complex needs, functional capacity assessments) — we’ll tailor this together

If you’re an experienced OT looking to broaden your impact, grow your career, and help shape services in Cairns, Ability Action Australia offers the support, flexibility, and opportunities to do just that.

We’d love to hear from you.
