Job Description

Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist considering a move to Australia?

We are currently working with a range of private practices, community health providers, and healthcare organisations across Australia that are actively looking to recruit qualified Occupational Therapists. South African-trained OTs are highly regarded in Australia, and many of the employers we work with are open to providing visa sponsorship (Subclass 482) for the right candidate.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build your career while enjoying Australia’s lifestyle, with roles available in welcoming communities just outside major metropolitan areas.

Many of the opportunities are located in beautiful coastal or regional areas, offering a relaxed lifestyle, strong community connections, and excellent professional support.

What Employers Are Offering

Depending on the position, employers may offer:

• Visa sponsorship (Subclass 482)
• Competitive salary packages
• Supportive multidisciplinary teams
• Structured onboarding/supervision and mentorship
• Relocation assistance (offered by some employers)
• Opportunities to work across varied caseloads including:
• Paediatrics
• NDIS
• Community and home-based therapy
• Rehabilitation

Registration & Relocation

The process to relocate and begin working in Australia can typically take approximately 2–3 months, depending on registration and visa timelines.

Our team will guide you through each step, including:

• Connecting you with suitable employers
• Preparing you for interviews
• Supporting you through the AHPRA registration process
• Assisting with visa sponsorship discussions
• Providing relocation guidance

Requirements

To be considered for these opportunities, candidates should:

• Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy
• Be eligible for AHPRA registration in Australia
• Have good English communication skills
• Hold (or be willing to obtain) a driver’s licence, as many roles involve community visits
• Be motivated to relocate and build a career in Australia

Why Work With Us?
