Welcome to Be Positive Therapy; where great therapy meets a culture that supports its clinicians. As a trusted provider across the NDIS and Aged Care sectors, we deliver personalised therapy and assessment services that make a real difference in people's lives. Supporting clients across Victoria, Queensland, and Tasmania, we're growing our team of Occupational Therapists servicing the Melbourne Bayside area, specialising in Mental Health. We're looking for clinicians who value clinical quality, flexibility, and autonomy. You will primarily work with a psychosocial and mental health caseload under the NDIS, with the option to incorporate a mixed caseload where desired. This role suits clinicians who enjoy assessments, report writing, and complex clinical reasoning, and want the freedom to manage their own caseload or have an incredible supervision program.
The Role
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who brings dedication, warmth, and a genuine commitment to supporting clients every step of the way. You will work with a NDIS and Aged Care caseload and have strong admin and clinical support to allow you to focus fully on providing the best care for your clients.
Your Week Will Typically Include
* 3–4 client-facing days
* Protected admin time for reports and documentation
* A flexible hybrid model: work from home if you wish, with in-clinic sessions, training and team events as required.
In This Role, You Will
* Conduct assessments to determine clients' needs and develop treatment plans.
* Complete functional capacity and home environment assessments.
* Work with clients to develop goals and objectives for therapy.
* Implement therapeutic strategies to support independence in daily living.
* Monitor clients' progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.
* Educate clients, families, and support workers on adaptive equipment and strategies.
* Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure clients receive comprehensive care.
* Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of clients' progress and reports.
About You
* AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist.
* Clinical experience (adults, disability or aged care preferred).
* Strong report writing and clinical reasoning skills.
* Comfortable working independently with good time management.
* NDIS screening check (or willing to obtain).
* Experience in NDIS or Aged Care is a bonus, but not essential (we'll support you every step of the way).

* Professional development: Supervision, mentoring and career progression.
* Tools provided: Laptop, phone, travel & tool kit reimbursement.
* Make an impact: Help clients achieve meaningful goals every day.
