Occupational Therapist | Independent Contractor | Community-Based, Sydney
AI Summary
Delivers community-based occupational therapy to NDIS participants across Sydney as an independent contractor, with autonomy over schedule and caseload.
About this role
This is a role for OTs who want real autonomy without losing the backing of a solid team.
There's no clinic roster here, just you, your own schedule, and clients across Sydney who need care delivered where they actually live. This growing NDIS provider delivers community-based allied health across the city, engaging OTs as independent contractors who bring their own flexibility and clinical judgement to every visit. They're known for responding to referrals within the hour, standing behind their work with a genuine satisfaction guarantee, and contributing a percentage of profits to charity, the kind of details that speak to how seriously they take "person-centred care."
The Role
- Deliver community-based occupational therapy across Sydney, with flexibility to work from home for telehealth sessions and report writing.
- Work with a caseload that's approximately 99% NDIS participants, predominantly adults, supporting people to build skills, independence and confidence in their own environments.
- Operate as an independent contractor, with genuine autonomy over your schedule and how you structure your working week.
- Collaborate easily with a broader multidisciplinary team across physio, exercise physiology, speech pathology, psychology and counselling.
What You'll Bring
- Full AHPRA registration.
- Your own vehicle and a valid driver's licence, this is a mobile, community-facing role.
- Your own laptop, plus current professional indemnity and public liability insurance (standard for contracting).
- Confidence working autonomously, and a genuine interest in NDIS and disability-focused practice.
- Strong communication skills, you'll be a consistent point of contact for clients and their support networks.
Why This One's Worth a Look
- Real flexibility, set your own hours as an independent contractor, without losing structure or support.
- A business that's grown by reputation, not marketing spend, with a culture that consistently gets described as genuinely caring.
- The chance to do deep, relationship-based OT work, rather than churn through short, transactional appointments.
- A multidisciplinary team behind you, so you're never problem-solving alone.
