Joining ourCanberrateam 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 Behaviour Support Practitioners, our multidisciplinary team thrives on collaboration! We’re big on team culture; think lunchtime Banangrams, 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.
