Occupational Therapist – Community (Aged Care & Adult Disability)

Looking for a role that’s flexible, values-driven, and community-focused?
Join a supportive team where your wellbeing matters—and your clinical passions are encouraged.

We’re expanding our Community Team at Apricus Health and are looking for an Occupational Therapist who’s passionate about working with older adults and adults with disability. Whether you're seeking full-time or part-time, we’ll tailor the role to suit your lifestyle and goals.

 
About the Role

Based at our Pimlico Clinic, you’ll provide home and community-based occupational therapy for adults and older adults. Your caseload may include:

• Functional assessments and interventions

• Equipment prescription and minor/major home modifications

• Goal-directed therapy to support participation and independence

• Collaboration with families, carers, and stakeholders

• Clients funded by DVA, MAC, NDIS, and private payers

You’ll be part of a supportive and experienced community OT team who work closely together to share ideas, supervise, and collaborate on client care. We also work alongside our hand therapy and paediatric teams to ensure continuity of care across the lifespan - something we’re deeply passionate about.

You’ll also be supported by our Therapy Assistant team, who help behind the scenes so you can focus more on face-to-face work and delivering great outcomes.

With plenty of variety in our referral base, there’s flexibility to tailor your caseload with the support of your team leader, focusing on what you do best. If there’s a particular area you’re passionate about, just let us know - we’re always open to exploring ways to support your interests and career goals.

About You

• A qualification in Occupational Therapy as recognised by the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (or from the country in which you trained) 
• Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) 
• First Aid, CPR training and NDIS Workers Screening or eligibility to obtain

• The ability to live and work in Australia long-term

What Our Team Says

"Another reason why I think Apricus Health is a really nice company to work for is that they really own their values. They’re not just statements on a page; they filter down through the processes and procedures. The team are very welcome to give feedback and input, so every member of the team really feels part of this company because we build and grow it together."

– Kelly Tregalles, Apricus Health Occupational Therapist
