Summary

Want an Occupational Therapy role where you can structure your day around your clients rather than constantly travelling back to the office?

Job Description

  • Flexible WFH arrangements
  • Start and finish your day from home where appropriate
  • Around 90% of referrals within Wollongong/Illawarra
  • Adult & Older Adult Caseload
  • Brand-new clinic
  • $75,000 – $110,000 + Super
This growing Wollongong OT provider offers genuine flexibility around how clinicians structure their week.

If your first appointment is close to home, you don’t need to drive into the clinic first just for the sake of being there.

You may instead complete reports from home in the morning, travel directly to your appointment and structure the rest of your day around your diary.
Your Week Could Include
  • Working from home on reports
  • Community appointments
  • Clinic-based days
  • Travelling directly from home to clients
  • Finishing your day from home after nearby appointments
Some days may be predominantly client-facing, while others may be almost entirely report writing.

The role is roughly balanced between face-to-face clinical work and reporting/documentation, giving you variety throughout the week.

Keep Your Travel Manageable Approximately 90% of referrals are within Wollongong and the wider Illawarra region, with most clients located within around 30 minutes of the team’s base.

Longer-distance referrals do arise occasionally, but these are managed within the team.
