The Opportunity
McArthur is seeking highly experienced Comprehensive/Clinical Assessors for locum roles with a leading aged care assessment provider, linked to one of Melbourne's most prominent healthcare organisations.
This role is suited to seasoned assessors who bring strong clinical judgement, sound assessment experience, and a genuine commitment to helping older Australians live safely and independently - while enjoying the autonomy of locum work.
About the Organisation
Based in Melbourne's inner north-west, this provider delivers comprehensive in-home assessments and reviews for older Australians, working collaboratively with clients, families, carers, and service providers to connect people with the right supports at the right time.

- Weekly pay
- Long-term assignment with a leading healthcare provider
- Work alongside a cohesive, multi-disciplinary team, sharing knowledge and expertise
- Full flexibility to work as much or as little as you like, with the ability to take extended leave
- Supportive, collaborative team culture with ongoing training and professional development
The Role
You'll conduct autonomous, person-centred assessments to determine the care and support older Australians need to live safely and independently at home.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct timely, holistic assessments that support independence and quality of life
- Liaise with families, carers, and service providers as key stakeholders in the assessment process
- Manage your own assessment schedule in line with Department of Health timelines and quality standards
- Maintain accurate, high-quality documentation and reporting
Note: This role involves travel within the northern or western metro region.
What We're Looking For
- Comprehensive Assessor certification, with recent hands-on experience as a Clinical/Comprehensive Assessor within the Single Assessment Service
- Tertiary qualification in Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Allied Health, or Social Work
- Strong working knowledge of aged care legislation, CHSP, and Support at Home
- Excellent communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills
- Valid Australian driver's licence and fully insured vehicle

Why This Role Stands Out
This is a role for experienced professionals who want genuine control over their work-life balance without compromising on the quality or complexity of the work they do. Whether you're building a business on the side, scaling back for family or study, planning around school holidays, or easing into semi-retirement - this role flexes around your life, not the other way around.
Full-time or part-time. Your schedule, your choice.
