Due to the demand for OT services for children in our area, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our growing team.

Melville Occupational Therapy is a vibrant private practice based in Myaree. It is a well-established business that is well resourced and has a strong support base in the community and many schools in the area. Our service is balanced with providing services for a good mix of NDIS and private clients aged 0 to 18 years. We have a customised sensory integration gym together with many other therapy spaces. Interventions are conducted within the clinic environment as well as some school based interventions.

Melville OT has a strong mission statement and we strive to support all the children and families we work with, to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on providing a supportive and enthusiastic work environment. Professional development is highly valued and encouraged. The caseload is varied, and we encourage the therapists to work to their strengths and passions. Modalities include sensory-based approaches, cognitive approaches, visual and auditory interventions, play-based and developmental approaches, task analysis, remediation and scaffolding, self-care and ADL interventions. Therapy includes psychosocial, fine and gross motor, sensory processing, visual and auditory processing and we work with a wide range of conditions and abilities.

Melville OT has recently partnered with Calming Kids Australia which ensures our clients and others in the local area have easy access to sensory, therapy and educational resources through the Calming Kids Australia shop.
