About the job
Senior Occupational Therapist
- Subcontractor
- Brisbane & Surrounds
Phase One Therapy is a Brisbane-based private OT practice built on The Phase One Method — Align, Assess, Analyse, Articulate. We work directly with clients and referrers, without the layers of a big corporate provider slowing things down.
We're expanding our team of subcontracted OTs and looking for an experienced adult OT ready for genuine independence, backed by great admin support. Work your own days, at your own pace, there's no pressure to bill hours, and every report goes through QA before it goes out.
The Role: As an independent contractor, you'll manage your own caseload across:
• Capacity building supports under NDIS
• Assistive technology (AT) assessment, prescription and funding requests (AT scripting)
• NDIS functional capacity assessments and report writing
• Aged care clients, including home and community-based supports
• Private clients, including self-funded and insurance-funded work
Based in Brisbane and surrounds, with a bookable office at Carina available on Tuesdays if you'd like a base for appointments.
Pay: 60–70% of billable hourly rate, based on experience.

• Own ABN and required insurances
Why Join Us

• Genuine flexibility, set your own days and hours, no billable-hours pressure
• All reports are quality-checked before submission, so you're never sending work out alone
• Established referral network across health, private sector, aged care and NDIS pathways
