Senior Occupational Therapist

Welcome to Ability Action Australia!

Join the Adelaide team at Ability Action Australia — a vibrant, multidisciplinary crew of 25 plus Allied Health professionals making a real difference in the community every day. Our team brings together Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners united by one shared purpose: delivering high-quality, meaningful support to NDIS participants across South Australia.

We're not your average allied health team. We combine genuine clinical excellence with a positive workplace culture. 

What Makes Us Different

Our leadership team is deeply invested in three things: your work-life balance, your career growth, and making sure you enjoy coming to work. That's not a line in a brochure — it's reflected in how we show up for each other every day.

✔ Flexible hybrid working arrangements — structured to suit your lifestyle, not just the organisation's.
✔ Supportive, multidisciplinary culture — collaborate with Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and PBS Practitioners who genuinely want each other to succeed.
✔ Career development pathways — whether you're early in your career or looking to step into a senior or leadership role, we invest in your growth.
✔ Community-based practice — meaningful, varied caseloads that keep your work interesting and impactful.
✔ Pet-friendly office — because great workplaces welcome the whole family (yes, including the four-legged members).
✔ Team social culture — daily coffees, lunches, and celebrations that make the office somewhere you actually want to be.
