Join The Rehabilitation Specialists: Make a Meaningful Impact

The Rehabilitation Specialists offers a clinically focused, flexible alternative to large corporate providers. Our Occupational Therapists work across both NDIS and workplace rehabilitation, allowing for more meaningful, varied, and person-centred practice. With lower administrative burden, genuine flexibility, and the opportunity to shape a growing service, we prioritise clinician autonomy, professional development, and sustainable workloads.

• Provide assistive technology prescription and minor environmental modification recommendations
• Collaborate with stakeholders including support coordinators, employers, insurers, and multidisciplinary teams
• Support return-to-work planning, graded duties, and vocational rehabilitation strategies
• Maintain compliance with NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission and relevant legislative requirements
