As a new graduate we’ll support you to transition from university to your new role with confidence. Supervision, mentoring, self-directed learning, on the job training and an awesome team who shares their ideas and experiences with you will help nurture your passion for empowering people to live their best lives.
You’ll get the ideal foundation in disability focused community therapy through an intensive 12-month Graduate Program. In your local hub you’ll be supported by an admin team and a Team Leader and share a laugh with team members who you’ll build real friendships with.
