We deliver Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Psychology, Positive Behaviour Support, Physiotherapy and other allied health services across the lifespan.

- Your Graduate Year at Avina
- Someone has your back
Your first year as an Occupational Therapist is about developing your clinical identity and building confidence in your own practice.

- What You'll Be Doing
- Work that matters
You'll deliver evidence-informed, person-centred Occupational Therapy services across community, clinic, home and school environments.
As your capability grows, you'll take on greater ownership of a real caseload.
