Make a real impact in Canberra Hybrid work, flexible hours, regular PD, career growth, leadership support & generous bonus rewards. #LoveWhatYouDo

Join a crew that celebrates wins together and has each other's backs. "Being part of Better Rehab is more than just a job. It's a community of people who support you, and the flexible hours allow me to balance work with my personal life." — Jess, Occupational Therapist

Joining our Canberra team you'll experience a warm, close-knit group of 12 allied health professionals who genuinely enjoy working and spending time together. With 5 Occupational Therapists (including grads, experienced clinicians and those on development pathways), 2 Physiotherapists, a Speech Pathologist (with another joining soon), an Allied Health Assistant and 3 Positive Behavior Support Practitioners, our multidisciplinary team thrives on collaboration. We're big on team culture; think lunchtime banter, café catch-ups, running club, book club, trivia nights and live music outings. Based in Bruce, our bright, modern office has three clinic rooms, on-site parking and easy access to Canberra's major ring roads. Having grown rapidly, expanding from 2 to 7 OTs in just a year, we're in an exciting phase of development and looking for like-minded clinicians to grow with us.

You'll experience a varied/mixed NDIS caseload that includes developmental and acquired disabilities across the lifespan.

• Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach
• Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work
• Innovate and Collaborate: You'll work with a whole multidisciplinary team to tackle complex cases, explore new treatment approaches, and address professional challenges

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.

• We Get Sh*t Done
• We are People People
• Love What You Do
• Frankly, we Give a Damn
• We Value Ourselves

We're committed to helping you grow as a clinician or as a leader yourself. Our mentoring pathway isn't just about moving up; it's about developing the full spectrum of skills you need to succeed and take on new opportunities including:

• Support and Supervision: You'll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges and an experienced and dedicated 1:1 Supervisor to guide you.
• Professional Development: Access to an extensive internal PD schedule + a personal budget.
• Study Leave: 4 full days paid study leave per calendar year.
• Resources: The works — laptop, phone + all of our sites have therapy and assessment resources ready to grab and go.

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 with:

• Better FlexPolicy: 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.
• National Opportunities across 30 Australian sites.

We're after OTs who get restless when they see room for improvement and aren't afraid to speak up about it. You'll bring a fire in your belly for participant care and treat participant goals like personal missions, not just checkboxes on a form. You should have the courage to challenge ideas (even ours) when participants' interests are at stake.

If this sounds like you, we might just be right for each other. You will also hold:

• Full AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist – limited may be considered on a case by case basis
• A valid driver's license and personal vehicle
• An NDIS check, Working with Children Check, and Police Check (or willingness to obtain)

Onshore applicants seeking sponsorship will be considered.
