About Us

Jewish Care Victoria belongs to the community – each of us owners and stakeholders. We each play a role in ensuring the care of those in need. The strength of our community is in our diversity and in our togetherness – young and old, rich and poor, healthy and sick, religious and unaffiliated.

Jewish Care’s mission speaks to all of us, through the delivery of the highest quality of care including real choices and real options, to transform Jewish Care from a provider of necessity to a provider of choice. 

About the Role

The Active Living Services team at Jewish Care Victoria require the expertise of a Physiotherapist to support independence of our aged care service users including clients with Home Care Packages and CHSP funding. As part of the Allied Health Service you will provide support to individuals in their homes and groups in our centres, using an evidence based approach. The program aims to provide assistance and support, referral to relevant community based resources and effectively link people to ongoing services to overcome a wide range of health concerns.
