Occupational Therapist | Experienced Clinician
Occupationally Neuro | Geelong, and/or Regional Victoria
Full time or part time (min 15 hours at 3 days) | $90,000 to $110,000 pro rata plus superannuation | Start date August 2026
Minimum 2 years post-graduate experience required.
Why this role exists
Most occupational therapy roles are structured around volume. Ours is structured around the work.
We support adults living with neurological conditions such as stroke, acquired brain injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and complex physical conditions. This is work that requires reasoning which cannot be rushed, assessment which cannot be shortcut, and a therapist who has the capacity to be genuinely present with the person in front of them.
That capacity does not happen by accident. It has to be built into the role.
So we have built it in.
What we do differently
Caseload size is a clinical decision, not a financial one. Your caseload is one that allows you to think clearly about every client on it. We have lived what it’s like to feel stretched due to too many clients, and not enough time, and you don’t need to live that too. It is the reason the practice is structured the way it is.
Reasoning and report writing sit inside your working hours. Documentation, clinical reasoning and reflection are part of the job, not something you absorb into your evenings.
Autonomy that matches your experience. You will have genuine clinical independence, with structured supervision and senior support available when you want it rather than oversight you have outgrown.
A team that talks about clients. Case discussion, peer review and shared problem solving are a regular part of how we work.
Room to grow in the direction that suits you. As the practice grows there is scope to move into leadership, education or advanced clinical work.
About us
Occupationally Neuro is a Geelong based practice working with adults living with neurological and complex physical conditions across the Barwon region. We provide hands on, in home therapy focused on what actually matters to the people we work with.
Our reputation has grown through word of mouth. Families, support coordinators and other clinicians come to us because we go deep, we communicate clearly, and we genuinely care.
We are deliberately small. That is a choice, not a stage we are hoping to grow out of. It allows us to hold a standard of clinical care that gets harder to protect as practices scale.

Ideally, I would have a Geelong based therapist, but the role is suited to an Occupational therapist in Victoria who is able to travel to Geelong. I am willing to support your regional engagement to a high clinical level, but I would like the attendance to team collab and PD days.
About you
You are an occupational therapist who values depth over volume. You enjoy thinking functionally and clinically, and you keep the person at the centre of every decision. You know that meaningful work comes from collaboration rather than ticking boxes.
You are the kind of OT who:
Brings warmth, professionalism and curiosity to your work
Advocates well for your clients, including when it is the harder conversation
Works independently but values genuine team connection
Wants autonomy rather than micromanagement
Contributes to a culture that is collaborative
Skill can be evidenced on a resume - what we are really looking for is a therapist who cares about doing the work properly, and who is curious about complexity rather than daunted by it.
What we offer
$90,000 to $110,000 pro rata plus superannuation, based on experience
Full time or part time employment to suit your life
A manageable caseload lead by a Director who preaches about managing cognitive load.
Protected non-client contact time built into your week
Structured supervision, regular case discussion and access to ongoing professional development
Laptop, phone, mileage reimbursement
Quarterly town hall meetings
A small, collaborative team where your input shapes how the practice operates
