Job Description

Occupational Therapist — Casual | $65–75/hour + Super South-Eastern & Eastern Melbourne | Alleviate Plus About us Alleviate Plus is a mobile allied health practice delivering care at home for older adults across Melbourne's south-eastern and eastern suburbs, working with Support at Home and Home Care Package recipients. Our work centres on what keeps people living safely and independently at home: home modifications and equipment prescription, functional decline in everyday tasks, falls risk, cognitive changes and dementia support, fatigue and energy conservation, and hospital-to-home reablement. This is Support at Home / HCP work only — no NDIS caseload.

Three things drive how we work: accountability, compassion, and empowering people to stay independent at home. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. The role

This role suits someone genuinely comfortable working autonomously, owning your own caseload and clinical decisions without a co-located OT team to check in with day to day. You'll be part of a small, collaborative multidisciplinary team with genuine clinical overlap on shared clients. We're a lean, growing practice, and there's room to shape how OT gets delivered as we evolve.

What you'll be doing

• Home-based OT assessment and intervention for older clients: functional/ADL assessment, equipment prescription, home modification recommendations, post-hospital/surgical reablement and falls risk management.
• Managing your own diary & caseload

What we're after

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• 5+ years' post-graduate clinical experience, ideally including community or home-based aged care
• Comfortable working solo, without a co-located OT team to lean on
• Current driver's licence and reliable vehicle
• A current National Police Check (or a valid NDIS Worker Screening Clearance)
• Right to work in Australia

What's on offer

• $65–75/hour casual rate, depending on experience and autonomy, + 12% superannuation
• Vehicle allowance of $1.01/km for travel between clients
• Real autonomy over how you structure your week and run your caseload
• Room to grow if desired - more hours, a shift toward permanent hours or a senior/supervisory OT role, as our client base grows
• Scheduling support, invoicing, and day-to-day liaison with referring providers handled by the practice

Hours Casual, with no guaranteed hours to start. As our client base grows, so does the work on offer.
