To be eligible for this opportunity, candidates must hold a qualification in Occupational Therapy and maintain full professional registration with AHPRA, or be eligible to obtain it. The provider warmly welcomes new graduates and offers excellent on-the-job training to support their transition into the sector. Requirements include strong communication and time-management skills, a problem-solving mindset, and a genuine passion for the health benefits of injury prevention. A current driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle are essential. This is an invitation to join a diverse and inclusive team that values accountability, authenticity, and the courage to pursue bold ideas in healthcare.
