Occupational Therapist | Early Career | $95k + Super + Fuel & Tolls + PD
Ready for greater independence, without losing the support that helps you grow?
Your Family OT is an Occupational Therapist-owned and OT-led practice supporting NDIS participants across Brisbane. We have developed a strong referral base across paediatric and adult disability practice, with Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants working across clinic, home, school and community environments.
Following an overwhelming response to our 2027 New Graduate Program, we are excited to be preparing to welcome four new graduate Occupational Therapists to our team next year. As our team continues to grow, we are now looking for an Early Career Occupational Therapist to join us.
This opportunity is designed for an OT who has moved beyond the new graduate stage and is comfortable managing their own caseload, but still values weekly individual supervision, access to experienced clinicians and genuine opportunities to keep developing.
You may not be looking for a Senior OT position yet. You may not be ready, or want, to supervise other clinicians. What you do want is the opportunity to become an excellent independent practitioner, broaden your clinical capability and begin exploring where your career could take you next.
Where this role sits
We have formalised a four-level Occupational Therapy career pathway:
New Graduate OT → Early Practitioner OT → Practitioner → Senior OT
This position sits within our Early Practitioner career level. This internal level recognises an Occupational Therapist who can independently manage an appropriate clinical caseload while continuing to develop clinical reasoning, efficiency, confidence and professional capability with regular supervision.
Early Practitioners may earn a $300 monthly KPI incentive for each eligible month in which the applicable KPI and performance requirements are achieved. This provides potential annual KPI incentives of up to $3,600 and potential cash earnings of up to $98,600 plus superannuation.
Progression is not based on billables alone. Clinical quality, documentation, professional conduct, independence, caseload management and capability remain important components of progression within Your Family OT.
About the role
You will manage your own caseload of NDIS participants while having regular access to supervision and senior clinical support. Your work may include:
- Occupational therapy assessment and intervention
- Functional assessment and therapy planning
- NDIS report writing
- Supporting participants to increase independence and participation in daily activities
- Home, school, community and clinic-based appointments
- Working collaboratively with participants, families and other professionals
- Managing your own diary, documentation and participant follow-up
- Managing your caseload and working toward established billable expectations
- Contributing to team learning and clinical discussions
Who we're looking for
This role could suit you if you:
- Are an AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist
- Have moved beyond the new graduate stage and are comfortable working with a good degree of independence
- Can manage your own clinical caseload, diary and documentation
- Understand working toward billable or productivity KPIs
- Have sound clinical reasoning and recognise when to seek additional clinical support
- Value supervision, feedback and ongoing professional development
- Enjoy community-based occupational therapy
- Communicate confidently with participants, families and other stakeholders
- Want to continue developing without necessarily stepping immediately into formal leadership or supervision responsibilities
Experience within the NDIS or disability sector is preferred.
Benefits
- $95,000 + superannuation base salary
- $300 monthly KPI incentive available for each eligible month in which applicable KPI and performance requirements are achieved, providing up to $3,600 in annual incentives
- Weekly individual clinical supervision and fortnightly mentorship with Practice Director / Principal OT, Katherine Beresford.
- $1,500 annual professional development budget
- Company vehicle fuel card + toll card (including reasonable personal use)
- Company laptop + mobile phone
- Flexible working arrangements following successful completion of onboarding and induction
- A diverse caseload with consideration given to clinical interests, experience and areas for development
- Experienced clinical and operational support
- A clear pathway from Early Practitioner to Practitioner and Senior Occupational Therapist opportunities.
