The Role

This is an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join an exciting and growing team in a part-time or full-time capacity. At Icaria Health, culture is everything and our Icarians are amazing!

Our Paediatric team are responsible for delivering high quality Allied Health therapy for children 0-16 years, to assist children to achieve their individual goals and aspirations. This is provided through a unique Key Contact Service Model, which ensures strong collaboration between therapists, the child and all those who play a role in the child’s life.
