Achieve Something Great
This newly established Senior Physiotherapist (Level 3) role offers a unique opportunity to join the Macarthur Older Persons Specialty Service (MOPSS), a specialist multidisciplinary aged care outreach team based at Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals. You will deliver advanced, patient‑centred physiotherapy to older adults recently discharged from hospital, supporting safe transitions of care and improved functional outcomes.

You thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams and have proven ability to case manage patients, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships with hospital and community care providers. If you’re looking for a senior role where you can combine clinical excellence with leadership and service improvement, this position offers a rewarding next step.
