Current opportunities

Imagine a place where there’s a community feel. A family-based business in a beautiful hills environment, 20 minutes to the city with a caring, competent Team and a great Clientele.

The Occupational Therapy focus is with Children… so fulfilling!

Our practise is a special space where you will feel valued and appreciated, not just a number or a lost member in a big organisation.

You may not know this but our team works in over 40+ schools around Adelaide and we are preferred providers within numerous schools, delivering mobile services and school-based therapy. We also deliver on-site consultancy services, Professional Development workshops with education facilities and complete OT screening in kindergartens across Adelaide. We also have a sister business that facilitates and offers a movement program, for experience in something different should you wish.
