Brisbane Full-Time On-site

This role is for the OT who's quietly been doing leadership work without the title. The clinician that other therapists come to with questions, who spots a system problem and fixes it before anyone notices, and cares about client outcomes and how the team around them is running.

What This Role Actually Involves Clinical (approx. 50–60%)

  • Manage your own NDIS and/or paediatric OT caseload across Brisbane
  • Conduct functional capacity assessments, home modifications, AT recommendations, and therapeutic interventions
  • Maintain documentation standards and NDIS compliance

Leadership & Operations (approx. 40–50%)

  • Support, mentor, and supervise therapist team and team leaders
  • Assist the founder and area manager in onboarding new clinical staff and embedding them into systems
  • Identify clinical or operational gaps and work with leadership to solve them
  • Contribute to policy, process, and quality improvement initiatives
  • Act as a first point of contact for team clinical queries

What Medisense AU Offers

  • Above‐industry average remuneration commensurate with leadership scope
  • Flexible hybrid working – community visits and WFH
  • Direct access to and partnership with the founder
  • Real influence over how the clinical team is built and run
  • No KPI pressure – we measure quality, not billable hours
  • Structured CPD investment and leadership development support
  • A growing organisation where your contribution is visible, not lost in a hierarchy

Who You Are

  • Degree in Occupational Therapy (required)
  • Minimum 3 years post‐graduate clinical experience in community/NDIS settings (required)
  • Demonstrated interest or experience in clinical leadership, supervision, or mentoring (required)
  • Strong communication skills across clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Valid Queensland driver's licence (required)
