The Role
As a community- based team, we predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that's relevant for them eg out and about testing a new wheelchair. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable and that's relevant to their goals.
Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing 3 or 4 clients one day, then balance this the next by working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training. Or you can mix things up and split your day depending how you like to work!
A community role is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days and therefore you don't miss your afternoon sport or having the social life you've sacrificed whilst studying!
In your Grad Program you be supported to:
- Service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 yrs old and up)
- Support clients with life skills - budgeting/shopping/travel/ cooking, pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy plus home assessments and modifications (initially minor and you can receive more training in complex mods)
- Produce comprehensive reports eg to support Specialist Disability Accomodation (SDA) or Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Along with having the freedom to work from home, we have a offices in Neutral Bay and Blacktown so you can have a home base to work from. Depending where you live we'll ensure you see clients in your area and you can also choose to use the office for appointments, to write reports and spend time with your Supervisor and hang out with other new Grads!

Recovery Station provides community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health.

Together, our passionate, multidisciplinary team of OTs, Mental Health OT’s, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible.
How Our Grad Program Will Empower Your Future
We believe that when you choose us for your Graduate role, you are entrusting us with teaching you the core OT skills that will form the foundation for an amazing career to come. With this in mind, we've set out a structured, comprehensive 12-month plan:
- You will start with a classroom style orientation so you can meet your new team, play around with your laptop and our online database and do some pre-reading and training modules before seeing clients
- We then take you out to ridealong with your supervisor so you can observe and ask questions (we can do a day of this in your interview process if you haven't had a community placement but want to know if you'll like it)
- Your supervisor will then begin shadowing your sessions, letting you take the reins and providing updates so that you'll feel confident when you begin seeing clients independently
- Throughout your Graduate Program you will receive different forms of daily and weekly supervision and support
- Attend multi-disciplinary meetings and enjoy opportunities for collaboration as you share clients with other disciplines including Speech, Dietetics, Physio & EP and Mental Health
Once you've settled in we have pathways to clinical specialisation such as Mental Health, Complex/ Major Home Mods or Driving Assessments if you find your particular passionate about a certain area.
You've worked hard to get to this point so we need have some fun at work too:
- To celebrate success and bring us together as a team, we have a fun wellbeing program that involves monthly social events such as our annualRS Olympic Games, cooking classes, paint & sip, candle-making, trivia, barefoot bowls, wheelchair rugby and more
- You will also celebrate your milestones in your Grad program with a Graduate celebration at your 12-month mark
- To allow you more time to focus on clincial work you will have someone allocated to you in our admin team to assist with booking client appointments for you.Your travel is reimbursed at $0.96/km and you also receive phone/ data and laundry allowances
- Discounted Health Insurance for you and your family plus other everyday savings on your Energy Bill, online shopping, groceries, petrol and more
- An Employee Assistance Program is available to provide external, confidential support
