• Mentoring and professional development opportunities
• Shared resources and established systems

OT provides community-based Occupational Therapy services Australia-wide. We empower people to reclaim independence, confidence, and everyday function, through personalised, mobile occupational therapy delivered where it’s needed most. We believe health is about more than treatment, it’s about connection, confidence, and a sense of belonging: for our clients, and our clinicians.

We deliver mobile occupational therapy services to individuals funded under NDIS, HCP and DVA funding schemes, as well as privately funded individuals, and collectively, our practitioners are supporting over 10,000 individuals in five Australian states.

Our practitioners generate income based on the hourly rates set within relevant funding schemes. Under our model you keep 85% of what you earn. 100% of travel income is yours.

We recognise that life includes family commitments, personal responsibilities and time away from work. Within our model, taking leave or adjusting your workload is not viewed as a lack of commitment. We believe sustainable practice leads to better outcomes, for clinicians and clients alike.
