About Us
Our wonderful team across Melbourne, greater Victoria, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart and Launceston are changing the face of rehabilitation. As the population ages and more people remain in home, we want to provide the choice for clients to continue their recovery and live independently in the comfort and convenience of their own environment.
Own Body was initially created as a mobile physiotherapy service in Melbourne, branching into podiatry and occupational therapy, as well as expanding interstate over recent years. We are growing at 50% year on year and are focussed on expanding our service offerings and locations. This means there are plenty of opportunities arising for those who wish to develop their skill sets and be part of an evolving company.

Clients call us raving about our team’s professionalism, personable natures and dedication in assisting their bodies back to health. They set realistic expectations and have excellent clinical skills. They make their clients their priority; they’re flexible when needed. We can rely on every one to complete administrative tasks (correspondence, follow up, appointment scheduling) efficiently and proficiently. They support our colleagues professionally and work collaboratively with our whole team. They represent our Core Values (Connection, Holistic, Enablement, Experience & Remarkable People).
Your Role
Working with Own Body will see you become part of a collaborative community of passionate, dedicated and thoughtful healthcare professionals. Your work will be varied and you will have plenty of autonomy to plan your day. You will treat clients with a variety of conditions, co-morbidities and some complex cases to get you really thinking!
