Our "Why"
Recovery Station exists to empower people to live a quality life. We believe in creating the ideal work environment for you because when you are happy, healthy, well-skilled and fulfilled, you're in the best position to have a positive impact on everyone around you.
Joining Recovery Station means aligning with a company that believes in empowering you and your future.
The Role
As a community- based team, we predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that's relevant for them eg a gym, park or local pool.
Our Physio's benefit from also having a clinic in Toronto where we can hold individual sessions or group classes. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable and that's relevant to their goals, therefore you will have a mix of clinic appointments plus seeing clients out in the community.
A role like this is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days so you don't miss your afternoon sport or having the social life you've sacrificed whilst studying
You will gain lots of variety as you service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 yrs old and up) living with:
- Developmental disabilities (autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Down syndrome)
- Neurological conditions (stroke, acquired brain injury, brain tumour, multiple sclerosis)
- Degenerative diseases (Parkinson's disease, MS, motor neurone disease, Huntington's disease, dementia)
- Physical disabilities (amputations)
- Sensory impairments (vision loss, hearing loss)
In your Grad Program you will be supported to:
- Conduct various assessments, active rehab, strength and conditioning and ongoing case management
- Deliver individual and group sessions in our Toronto clinic and externally
- Advise on exercise, therapy and equipment prescription
- Provide rehabilitation and falls prevention initiatives
- Deliver education programs for individuals, carers, support workers, family members
Our services can encompass active rehabilitation, conditioning, neuro, aquatic therapy and depending where you live we'll ensure you see clients in your area eg Maitland/ Newcastle / Lake Macquarie.
Qualifications
- Approved qualification in Physiotherapy and AHPRA registration
- Current driver's license with use of own vehicle

How Our Grad Program Will Empower Your Future
We believe that when you choose us for your Graduate role, you are entrusting us with teaching you the core skills that will form the foundation for an amazing career to come. With this in mind, we've set out a structured, comprehensive 12-month plan:
- You will start with a classroom style orientation so you can meet your team, play around with your new laptop and our online database and do some pre-reading and training modules before seeing clients
- We then take you out to ride along with your supervisor so you can observe and ask questions (we can do a day of this in your interview process if you haven't had a community placement but want to know if you'll like it)
- Your supervisor will then begin shadowing your sessions, letting you take the reins and providing updates so that you'll feel confident when you begin seeing clients independently
- Throughout your Graduate Program you will receive different forms of daily and weekly supervision and support depending on your learning style
- Attend multi-disciplinary meetings and enjoy opportunities for collaboration as you share clients with other disciplines
Once you've settled in, if you find you're particularly passionate about a certain area we have pathways to clinical specialisation such as neuro, hydrotherapy, women's health and more.
You've worked hard to get to this point so we need have some fun at work too:
- To bring us together as a team, we have a fun wellbeing program that involves monthly social events. Previously we've gone to mini golf, ten pin bowling, wheelchair basketball + rugby, made dumplings, candles and gingerbread houses, paint & sip, brought in a professional masseuse and celebrated important dates such as International Women's Day, mental health month and many others
- We will celebrate the milestones in your Grad program with a Graduate celebration at your 12-month mark
- To allow you more time to focus on clinical work you will have someone allocated to you in our admin team to assist with booking client appointments for you. Your travel is reimbursed at $0.99/km and you also receive phone/ data and laundry allowances
- Novated leasing options
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance covered for you
- Ability to transfer between offices if you move one day
- Discounted Health Insurance for you and your family plus other everyday savings on your Energy Bill, online shopping, groceries, petrol and more
- An Employee Assistance Program is available to provide external, confidential support
