Join Us as a Rural Generalist Physiotherapist – Deliver Holistic Care and Grow Your Clinical Expertise

Are you a qualified physiotherapist ready to broaden your skills in a rewarding rural role? We’re seeking a dedicated Rural Generalist Physiotherapist to join the Limestone Coast Local Health Network (LCLHN). This 12-month opportunity offers a diverse caseload split across the Emergency Department/Short Stay Unit (0.5 FTE) and Inpatient Setting (0.5 FTE).

• Work under reduced clinical direction and contribute to multidisciplinary care teams focused on preventative, therapeutic, and rehabilitative outcomes.
• Provide physiotherapy interventions within subacute services using evidence-based rehabilitation frameworks.
• Support less experienced allied health professionals, Allied Health Assistants, and students through clinical supervision and mentorship.
• Ensure patient care aligns with established models of care, health outcomes, and functional improvement goals.

What We Are Looking For:

• A recognised qualification in Physiotherapy and current registration (or eligibility) with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
• Completion of a two-year Master's program with a related allied health undergraduate degree, or at least two years of post-graduate experience with demonstrated AHP2-level competencies.
• Proven ability to manage complex caseloads independently and collaboratively.
• Strong commitment to rural and community-focused health service delivery.
