Exercise Physiologist – Townsville

Full-Time or Part-Time | $85,000–$90,000 + Super + Benefits

What if the best thing about your next EP role wasn't the salary — but the fact that you actually get to do the job properly? At Proactive Health, we don't compress your caseload into 15-minute slots and call it clinical care. We give you the time, the variety, and the team around you to practice the way you were trained to — across the full scope of what an Accredited Exercise Physiologist can offer.

This is a genuine multidisciplinary clinic. Not a physio practice that added an EP to the letterhead. You'll work alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, dietitians, and social workers who actually coordinate care together, not just share a waiting room.

And Townsville? If you haven't been, it's not what you think. Year-round sun, Magnetic Island 20 minutes offshore, a genuinely affordable cost of living, and a community that actually knows your name. It's the kind of place where you can buy a house, not just rent a room.

Your Week, Not a Job Description:

• Tuesday morning: you're running a supervised exercise session for a DVA veteran managing cardiovascular disease.
• Mid-morning, you're conducting an initial assessment for an NDIS participant working toward functional independence.
• After lunch, a home visit for an aged care client under a Home Care Package.
• Late afternoon, a Medicare EPC consultation with a post-surgical client.
• Between appointments, you're collaborating with your physio and OT colleagues about shared patients — because that's how this clinic actually works.

Your caseload spans DVA, Medicare, NDIS, Home Care Packages, workers' compensation, and private clients. That's not a bullet point — that's the reason your clinical reasoning stays sharp and your weeks never feel repetitive.

Requirements:

• ESSA accreditation (AEP) or eligibility
• Tertiary qualification in Exercise Physiology
• Current insurance or willingness to obtain
• Police Check and NDIS Worker Screening (current or willing to obtain)
• Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills

New graduates: yes, genuinely. We have a structured program and experienced mentors ready to support you from day one.

Benefits:

• A caseload that prioritises quality over volume — sustainable workloads that let you deliver care properly
• A salary that reflects your value — $85K–$90K + super, discussed openly at interview based on experience
• Dedicated mentorship — whether you're a new grad or mid-career, you'll have experienced clinicians around you who genuinely invest in your development
• The Proactive Health Academy — structured CPD, professional development, and clinical education that keeps you at the front of your profession
• Clear career pathways — senior clinician, team lead, clinic management, or clinic ownership. Your progression, your pace.
• A Graduate Program that actually prepares you — structured, mentored, and designed to build confidence, not just fill a roster
• Staff rewards and wellbeing support — retail discounts, wellbeing centre access, and a team culture that actually checks in on each other
• The independence of private practice with the infrastructure and support of a national network across 450+ locations
