Your travel is reimbursed at $1.01/km, and you also receive phone/data and laundry allowances. Novated leasing options are available. Professional indemnity and public liability insurance covered for you.

The Role:
As a community-based team, we predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting relevant to them. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable and that's relevant to their goals.
Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing 3 or 4 clients one day, then balance this the next by working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, and have supervision/training. A community role allows you genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days.
You will gain variety in this role as you service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 years old and up) living with:
- Developmental disabilities (autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Down syndrome)
- Neurological conditions (stroke, acquired brain injury, brain tumour, multiple sclerosis)
- Degenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, MS, motor neurone disease, Huntington’s disease, dementia)
In your Grad Program you will:
- Support clients with life skills such as budgeting, shopping, travel, cooking, pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy, plus home assessments and modifications.
- Sharpen your clinical reasoning and become proficient in completing comprehensive assessments and reporting.
Along with the freedom to work from home, we have clinics in Toronto and Maitland, ensuring you see clients in your area. You can also choose to use the office for appointments, report writing, and spending time with your Supervisor and fellow new Grads.
