Looking for flexible OT work that values connection, autonomy, and real-world impact? At Seeking Minds, we work alongside people in the contexts of their everyday lives, homes, communities, and support environments, and we’re looking for Occupational Therapists who want meaningful, sustainable contractor work with the option to transition into a permanent role if desired.

This role suits OTs who value relational practice, enjoy diverse caseloads, and want genuine flexibility in how and when they work — whether that’s part-time, building a portfolio, or seeking a longer-term professional home.

About the Role

As a contractor OT with Seeking Minds, you’ll work with a mixed caseload of NDIS participants and private clients, across children, adolescents, and adults, with varying needs and goals. Work can be completed in the community, from home, or from our office space, depending on your preference and client needs.

For clinicians seeking stability over time, there is potential to move into a permanent role, subject to mutual interest, service needs, and fit.

Why Contract With Seeking Minds?

• True flexibility – choose your days, hours, and workload.
• Autonomous contractor arrangements, with strong organisational support.
• Access to office space for report writing, meetings, or in-person sessions.
• Diverse caseloads – NDIS and private clients, across the lifespan.
• Structured supervision, mentoring, and reflective debriefing.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
• Competitive remuneration equivalent to $110,000–$130,000 p.a. (negotiable).
• Option to explore permanency for those seeking longer-term stability.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct functional assessments and deliver individualised OT interventions.
• Work flexibly across in-person and remote service delivery.
• Complete high-quality assessments, reports, and documentation for relevant bodies.
• Recommend and support adaptive equipment, assistive technology, and home modifications.
• Collaborate with families, carers, and multidisciplinary professionals.
• Participate in structured supervision and reflective practice.

Who We’re Looking For

• AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist.
• Experience across age groups and diverse support needs, desirable but not necessary
• Knowledge of the NDIS or comparable frameworks.
• Strong assessment, documentation, and communication skills.
• ABN and relevant insurances for contractor work.
• A relational, community-oriented OT aligned with human rights and ethical practice.
