Starting your first role as an Occupational Therapist is a big transition. You should not have to arrive with all the answers. At Avina, our 12-month Graduate Program is designed to give you structure, people to turn to and the practical experience to become the clinician or practitioner you want to be.
Avina is a national allied health and behaviour support organisation, delivering community and clinic-based support to people across the lifespan, with 400+ clinicians across QLD, NSW, VIC and SA.
Progressive | Curious | Respectful | Collaborative | Informed | Purposeful.
Someone has your back
Your first year as an Occupational Therapist is about developing your clinical identity and building confidence in your own practice.
When you start with us, your first weeks are about learning, observing, asking questions and gradually taking on more.
The program begins with a structured 9-week onboarding and caseload ramp-up, supported by:
Become the clinician you want to be
Across your graduate year, you'll be exposed to a broad range of Occupational Therapy practice, learning alongside experienced clinicians, discipline peers and other graduates.
You'll have opportunities to build your capability across a range of Occupational Therapy practice areas, including:
Alongside your clinical caseload, you'll also build broader professional skills, including:
Work that matters
You will deliver evidence-informed, person-centred Occupational Therapy services across community, clinic, home and school environments.
As your capability grows, you'll take on greater ownership of a real caseload. The aim isn't to make you "productive" as quickly as possible, it's to help you become safe, thoughtful and confident in work that makes a real difference.
Our 2027 graduate opportunities are currently available across New South Wales in:
