  • Travel within FNQ to service regional clients (travel reimbursement provided).

Key Requirements
  • Bachelor's or higher qualification via AHPRA (OT) or AASW (Social Work).
  • Experience or strong interest in working with children with developmental or mental health needs.
  • Ability to work flexibly across home, school, community, and clinic environments.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.
  • Commitment to client outcomes, family engagement, and continuous improvement.

What We Offer
  • 40-week working year, plus 4 weeks annual leave (pro-rata).
  • Competitive salary + superannuation.
  • Flexible hours and hybrid/remote options.
  • Professional development, supervision, and career progression pathways.
  • A mission-driven team culture that values well-being, balance, and innovation.
  • Supportive systems and resources to help you thrive.
