Your caseloads will include participants with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, post stroke, amputations and motor neuron disease and more.

Responsibilities
  • Assess & design impactful therapy sessions to improve balance, range of movement, posture and muscle strength; support through hydrotherapy sessions or completing respiratory assessments and treatments; complete postural assessments and trialling assistive technology such as standing frames and manual wheelchairs.
  • Collaborate with a committed MDT to develop innovative solutions for clients.
  • Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.
What makes us Better?

For starters, we're clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it's like being in the trenches of care. We've built the kind of workplace we always wished existed, where we don't just say we trust our clinicians – we show it. A community built by clinicians, for clinicians.

Our Values
  • We Get Sh*t Done
  • We are People People
  • Love What You Do
  • Frankly, we Give a Damn
  • We Value Ourselves
We Back You, Every Step of the Way

We're committed to helping you grow as a clinician. Our program starts you off with a full week of graduate-specific induction sessions, including a comprehensive introduction to community practice, the NDIS and life at Better Rehab.

  • Support: You'll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges including a buddy from last year's graduate cohort to answer questions and provide guidance
  • Supervision: Mentorship by a discipline-specific 1:1 Supervisor to help you navigate all areas of working with Better Rehab, including your transition into full-time work within your new office. They will also provide clinical support within the NDIS and your caseload.
  • Ongoing Training: 6 months of dedicated induction, training and upskilling to set you up for the rest of the program and your future career.
  • Study Leave: 4 full days paid study leave per calendar year.
  • Resources: The works - laptop, phone + all sites have therapy and assessment resources ready to grab and go.
Freedom to Work Your Way

We've created an environment where you can personalise your work style and schedule. Want to split your time between online, in-clinic and community work? We're here to prioritise whatever makes you the best clinician you can be.

  • Better Flex Policy: Flexible hours and the opportunity to flex off when you've completed your client work
  • Clear KPIs: Realistic, achievable and sustainable monthly targets
  • Better Rewards Program: Earn bonus pay or extra leave, or redeem points for PD, gadgets and experiences
  • Paid Parental Leave: 8 weeks for the primary carer and 2 for the secondary carer
  • Travel Reimbursement: Work-related travel paid monthly at 92c per KM under the NDIS Regulated Reimbursement category
  • National Opportunities across 30 Australian sites
About You

We're after Physios with a genuine interest in supporting participants with disability who get restless when they see room for improvement and aren't afraid to speak up about it. We look for a fire in the belly about participant care and treat participant goals like personal missions, not just checkboxes on a form.

You Will Also Hold
  • Tertiary qualifications in Physiotherapy with a graduation date in 2025 or January 2026
  • A valid driver's license and personal vehicle
  • An NDIS check, a Working with Children Check, and a Police Check (or willing to obtain)
Commitment To Diversity

At Better Rehab, we embrace diversity, inclusivity and a fair recruitment process encouraging applications from all backgrounds. Learn more at
