About the Opportunity
We are seeking highly experienced Occupational Therapists to join our Medicolegal OT Panel on a contractor, ad‐hoc basis. This is not a fixed caseload or ongoing weekly role; you will join a pool of trusted OT experts who are engaged as matters arise. When we receive a request from the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) or legal representatives for an OT expert, we submit a shortlist of suitable panel members. The instructing lawyers then select the expert they wish to engage. If selected, you will be engaged to complete a single assessment and report, typically requiring approximately 20 hours of work per matter. Work volume cannot be guaranteed; however, panel members must have the capacity to complete the work within required timeframes when engaged.
In This Role, You Will
* Conduct functional capacity assessments for current or prospective NDIS participants.
* Apply NDIS legislation, clinical reasoning, and evidence‐based practice to inform expert opinions.
* Produce clear, objective, and defensible medicolegal reports.
* Provide recommendations relating to supports, assistive technology, home modifications, or rehabilitation.
* Attend or participate in ART hearings if required to clarify or expand on findings.
You'll Shine If You
* Are an AHPRA‐registered Occupational Therapist with 7+ years' post‐qualification experience.
* Have advanced assessment, analytical reasoning, and report‐writing skills.
* Are confident producing high‐quality, defensible expert opinions.
* Can work autonomously with strong time‐management skills.
* Have the flexibility to commit approximately 20 hours per assessment when engaged.
Why Join Our Medicolegal Panel?
* Location flexibility: work from anywhere within the Melbourne region, with travel only as required for assessments.
* Ad‐hoc work: project‐based engagements with no fixed hours or guaranteed volume.
* Meaningful impact: contribute to decisions that directly affect people's lives.
* Professional growth: build medicolegal expertise without committing to a permanent role.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally diverse communities, people with disabilities, and the LGBTIQ+ community. Everyone is respected here.
