Position Title: Occupational Therapist

Location: South Eastern Suburbs

Reports To: Clinical Manager

Employment Type: Contractor position (work as many hours as you like)

 

Want the freedom to choose your own hours, make a real difference, and feel genuinely valued? You’ve found your place.

​

​At Path Allied Health, we believe therapy is about more than just assessments and reports-it’s about connection, building confidence, and helping people live more independently.

​

We’re on the lookout for an experienced and compassionate Grade 3 Occupational Therapist (10+ years’ experience) to join our growing start-up as a contractor supporting our amazing NDIS community.

​

We currently offer physiotherapy across Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs, and we’re expanding our services to include Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology—so it’s a fantastic time to jump on board and grow with us!

​

You’ll be working from home, planning your own schedule, and visiting participants in the community when needed. With a mixed caseload, no two days will be the same - and that’s part of what makes the role so rewarding.

​

• Above-average industry pay that truly values your expertise. We pay superannuation on top of your hourly rate.

• Your work, your way – Full flexibility to shape your caseload and hours around your lifestyle.

• A small, supportive team that likes to have fun- Collaboration is key, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously!

• Real impact – Our participants appreciate thoughtful, quality care - and they feel the difference.

• Career progression opportunities – We’re just getting started, so watch this space… growth and leadership opportunities are on the horizon!

​

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting a diverse mix of participants with a range of functional, cognitive, and physical needs

• Conducting comprehensive, participant-led assessments both remotely and during home visits

• Developing and implementing tailored, evidence-based intervention plans focused on building daily living skills, independence, and quality of life

• Recommending assistive technology, functional capacity evaluations, and home modifications to support participant goals

• Preparing clear and detailed NDIS reports that advocate for participants and support funding applications

• Collaborating with families, support coordinators, and other allied health professionals to provide holistic, person-centred care

• Managing your own caseload and schedule with full flexibility

• Staying committed to your professional development, keeping up with current practices and evolving participant needs

• Communicating clearly and compassionately—whether in person or in writing

​

What You’ll Need:

• A degree in Occupational Therapy

• Current AHPRA registration

• 10+ years of clinical experience (Grade 3), ideally including work with NDIS participants

• A strong understanding of functional assessments, assistive technology, and home modifications

• A genuine love for supporting others and building real connections

• A solid understanding of the NDIS and how to support participants within the scheme

• A current Australian driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle

• A National Police Check
