Job Description

Ready for Something New?

If you’re an Occupational Therapist in New Zealand and have been even slightly curious about what life and work looks like in Australia… this is for you.

We’re working with a range of established clinics and organisations across Australia that are actively looking for OTs — and they’re very open to welcoming clinicians from NZ.

Whether you’re craving a lifestyle change, better earning potential, or just something different… there are some genuinely great options available right now.

✨ Why are so many OTs making the move?

Let’s be honest — it’s usually a mix of career + lifestyle 👇

💰 Strong salaries
Typically $85K – $120K+ + super, with plenty of roles offering bonuses.

Travel + relocation support
Many roles (especially community-based) include:

• Travel reimbursement
• Company cars or car allowances
• Relocation assistance

Career variety
You can choose what suits you best:

• Paediatrics
• NDIS / Community
• Adult rehab / neuro
• Clinic-based or mobile roles

Proper support
Structured onboarding, mentoring, and manageable caseloads (yes — actually manageable).

Lifestyle
Coastal living, sunshine, and a better work-life balance… or big-city energy if that’s your thing.

Where in Australia?

We’ve got roles across:

• Across all metro cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth
• Coastal and lifestyle locations 🌊
• Regional areas (often with higher salaries + incentives)

We’ll help you find a role that actually fits your goals — not just send you random jobs.

Who we’re looking for

We’re working with employers open to:

• New grads (with strong support available)
• Experienced OTs looking for progression or a fresh start
• Clinicians who enjoy autonomy but still want a team around them
• People who genuinely care about client outcomes

What you’ll need

• Occupational Therapy qualification
• Eligibility for (or already registered with) AHPRA
• Good communication skills and a positive, proactive approach

Why go through us?

At Mediix we keep things simple and honest:

• We’ll give you a clear picture of the market
• Introduce you to multiple options (not just one)
• Help with AHPRA, relocation, and offers
• Listen to what you want (location, caseload, salary, lifestyle)
