Description

At South Coast Therapy & Support Group, we are building a different kind of allied health organisation.

We are a locally owned and operated practice focused on delivering high-quality, evidence-based therapy that creates meaningful change for clients, families, and our community.

Our team believes in taking the time to understand each client, working collaboratively, and providing therapy that is practical, personalised, and outcome-focused.

We are seeking motivated Occupational Therapists interested in either contractor or employee opportunities within a supportive, innovative, and growth-focused environment.

Whether you are seeking the flexibility and autonomy of contracting, or the stability and support of employment, this role offers the opportunity to work within a collaborative organisation with strong systems, modern clinic spaces, professional development opportunities, and consistent referral pathways.

Why Join South Coast Therapy & Support Group

Flexible Career Pathways

We understand that clinicians value different working arrangements at different stages of their careers.

For contractors, we provide the flexibility of independent work while reducing the challenges often associated with sole trader practice, including inconsistent referrals and administrative burden.

For employees, we offer the security and support of structured employment within a positive and progressive allied health environment.

Depending on your preferred arrangement, you may have access to:

  • Consistent referral streams across the Shoalhaven and Illawarra
  • Established operational and administrative systems
  • Reception and scheduling support
  • Modern clinic facilities and therapy resources
  • Collaborative multidisciplinary support
  • Flexible work arrangements aligned with your goals and availability
  • Professional development and mentoring opportunities
  • Structured career progression pathways

Whether you are an experienced clinician, an established sole trader, or someone looking to further develop your career within a supportive organisation, we can tailor an arrangement that works for you.

Our Clinical Director, Claire Carson, was also recognised as Outstanding Business Leader at the 2025 Shoalhaven Business Awards.

Our workplace culture has additionally been recognised through STAR Workplace assessment results, placing us within the top 5 workplaces in Australasia.

We have intentionally built a workplace culture focused on professionalism, collaboration, innovation, sustainability, and meaningful impact for both clinicians and clients.

Community-Focused & Locally Owned

As a locally owned and operated organisation, we are deeply committed to supporting and strengthening our local community.

Our leadership team is actively involved in volunteering, advocacy, and community development through organisations including:

  • Shoalhaven Business Chamber
  • Board Director roles with BCR

We believe allied health services should be connected to and invested in the communities they support.

AI & Innovation-Focused Systems

We are heavily investing in AI-powered systems and modern technology to improve workflows, reduce administrative burden, and support high-quality clinical practice.

Team members have access to:

  • AI-assisted documentation systems
  • Streamlined reporting templates and workflows
  • Digital clinical resources and tools
  • Technology designed to improve efficiency and reduce burnout
  • Ongoing training and education in innovative clinical systems

Our focus is simple: allowing clinicians to spend more time delivering meaningful therapy and less time managing paperwork.

Team members have access to:

  • Dedicated administration support
  • Assessment and therapy resources
