The Benevolent Society’s vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non-religious service provider which supports people to live life their way.
As part of The Benevolent Society's vision, we are strongly committed to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. We remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our dedicated Occupational Therapists in Dubbo serve a diverse client base, spanning from children to adults with various physical and intellectual disabilities. We offer flexibility, providing care in clients' homes, community settings, or our office. Our mission involves conducting thorough functional assessments, setting personalised goals, and empowering clients to achieve those milestones through therapy and personalised assistive technology recommendations. We extend our services to clients across the Dubbo region, making a difference in their lives.
Looking to sink your teeth into the world of disability? We provide our new graduates with a wide network of supports including communities of practice (regular monthly meetings with a wide range of Allied Health Professionals from all over NSW and SA!), regular clinical supervision (fortnightly) and personal development meetings with your supportive Team Leader!
