Occupational Therapist – Contractor Clinic/Community | Shoalhaven & Illawarra Regions

Consistent Referrals | Administration Support | Clinical Autonomy

Is This You?

You're comfortable owning a complex caseload independently, while knowing support is there when you need it.

You've built your clinical expertise. You know how to deliver exceptional outcomes. You're not looking for someone to tell you how to do your job.

What you are looking for is flexibility, autonomy and a steady stream of quality referrals, without the burden of managing administration, marketing or business development. You want the freedom to choose when you work. You value professional connection and collaboration, but don't want micromanagement. You enjoy complex clinical work and want to focus your time on supporting participants and clients, rather than chasing referrals or completing endless paperwork.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.

We provide referrals, administration support, technology and clinical infrastructure so you can focus on delivering exceptional therapy services. You'll maintain the independence and flexibility of contracting while remaining connected to an experienced multidisciplinary team.
