This role involves both clinic and community-based therapy to best suit the needs of our clients.

For a recent graduate, this presents an opportunity to improve your skills in Paediatric Physiotherapy.

We have a diverse caseload made up of all age groups across the paediatric spectrum, including infants and children with musculoskeletal, developmental, genetic and neurological conditions, which includes NDIS and private patients.

We’ll provide ongoing support and training through regular one to one supervision, discipline team meetings, professional development and external supervision to ensure that your goals and optimal patient outcomes are achieved.

  • Maintain contemporary progress notes, accurate client records, and ensure compliance with NDIS guidelines.
  • Provide consultancy support to clients, families, and stakeholders.
  • Meet billable targets and maintain professional knowledge in line with registration requirements.
  • Uphold ConnectAbility’s mission, values, and commitment to person-centred care.

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy or equivalent and registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
  • Post-graduate experience working with a paediatric caseload (preferred but not essential, training will be provided).
  • Strong communication, organisational, and time management skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team and engage families and clients.
  • Current NDIS Worker Check, Working with Children Check, and First Aid Certificate (including CPR).
  • A current NSW Driver’s Licence and the ability to travel across the Maitland and Hunter region.
