Job Description
Join a Crew that Celebrates Wins Together and has Each Other’s Backs
Joining our Launceston team, you’ll manage a varied, mixed NDIS caseload across the lifespan, working with participants with both developmental and acquired disabilities. Your caseload will include a balance of paediatric and adult clients, with opportunities to work on complex assistive technology, equipment prescription, and home modifications.
You’ll be supported by an experienced Senior Occupational Therapist, along with an AWESOME Regional Manager and Clinical Lead, giving you access to strong clinical guidance while still enjoying autonomy and flexibility in your role. The position also offers the option to work fully remotely while supporting the local Launceston community (this is not a telehealth role).
Day-to-day you will:
-
Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach
-
Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.
-
Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you're dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches, or facing professional challenges, you'll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner.
What makes us Better?
For starters, we're clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it’s like being in the trenches of care. We’ve built the kind of workplace we always wished existed. Where we don't just say we trust our clinicians – we show it.

-
Clear KPIs: Realistic, achievable and sustainable monthly targets.
-
Better Rewards Program: Earn bonus pay or extra leave, or redeem points for PD, gadgets and experiences!

About You
We're after Occupational Therapists who get restless when they see room for improvement and aren't afraid to speak up about it. Who have a fire in their belly about participant care and treat participant goals like personal missions, not just checkboxes on a form.
The ones who have the courage to challenge ideas (yes, even ours) when participant’s interests are at stake.
If this sounds like you, we might just be right for each other.
Qualifications
-
General AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist – limited may be considered on a case by case basis
-
A valid driver’s license and personal vehicle
-
An NDIS check, Working with Children Check, and Police Check (or willing to obtain)
-
Ideal role for OTs with 1+ years post-grad experience
Onshore applicants seeking sponsorship will be considered.
