Most of our clinics are located in regional Australia, this brings with it some interesting opportunities and challenges. As a new grad, you may ask yourself, why should I choose to work in a regional community? Well, here are some of the best reasons to make the regional relocation.

  • The communities you’ll work in, and the clients you treat, seek education. Your voice matters and they want you to be a part of their health journey. 
  • We can deliver quality care in the growing area of MSK.
  • Throughout COVID-19 physiotherapy was deemed to be essential, you’re able to work and continue your job as usual. 
  • We are integral members of rural and remote multidisciplinary health care teams. 

In return, our clients are able to access our services and pursue greater outcomes for their overall health and wellbeing.
