Physiotherapy roles on this page span four main settings, alongside the broader Allied Health category. The notes below give a general framework; individual listings show the specific setting and arrangement for each role.
Private practice is the most common setting on this page, covering general musculoskeletal (MSK) treatment, manual therapy and exercise prescription, along with more specialised clinics such as women's health and pelvic health physiotherapy. Most private practice roles are advertised as full-time or part-time positions rather than short-term contracts.
Hospital and public health roles involve acute and subacute care, working with inpatients recovering from surgery, stroke or injury as part of a multidisciplinary team. These roles are more commonly salaried and are often the first setting new graduates enter, since they provide structured supervision and exposure to a wide caseload.
Aged care roles focus on mobility, falls prevention and functional maintenance for older adults, in residential aged care or via home visits. NDIS-funded roles support people with disability and are billed against the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, effective 1 July 2026: the national standard price limit for physiotherapy is $183.99 per hour, rising to $257.59 in remote areas and $275.99 in very remote areas. This is around $10 lower than the equivalent rate for occupational therapy and speech pathology, following a reduction applied in 2025 that the Australian Physiotherapy Association has publicly raised as a sustainability concern for the profession.
Sports physiotherapy roles focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation, working with sporting clubs, teams or sports-focused private clinics. These roles are often combined with general private practice caseloads rather than offered as a standalone full-time position.
HealthcareLink lists physiotherapist jobs across Australia, from private practice clinics to hospitals, aged care and sports settings. Physiotherapists assess and treat people with physical difficulties resulting from injury, disease, ageing or disability, using non-surgical techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy to reduce pain, restore movement and improve function.
Becoming a physiotherapist in Australia requires a Bachelor or Master of Physiotherapy from an accredited course. All physiotherapists, whether trained in Australia or overseas, must register with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia via the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) before practising, as physiotherapy is part of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.
According to Healthcare Australia's 2026 Salary Guide, graduate physiotherapists typically start around $70,000 to $92,000, rising to $100,000 or more for senior clinicians in private practice or acute settings, with the exact range depending on state and setting. Physiotherapy is currently flagged as a national allied health shortage area, which gives candidates, particularly those open to rural or regional roles, a stronger negotiating position on pay and conditions.
