Community Occupational Therapist – Canberra

Are you an Occupational Therapist who's tired of unrealistic KPIs and cookie-cutter caseloads? At Renew Living, we do things differently.

We're a community-based allied health provider with a simple philosophy: find the right people, then shape the work around them. Whether you prefer NDIS, DVA, or Home Care clients — or a mix of all three — we'll tailor your caseload to match your interests and strengths. No one-size-fits-all here.

Here's something that sets us apart: our billable target is just 5 hours per day. As far as we can tell, that's the lowest in the industry. It's not a gimmick — it reflects our genuine commitment to sustainable workloads and clinician wellbeing. We want you to do your best work without burning out.

You'll deliver quality occupational therapy services across community settings, supporting clients to maintain and improve their functional ability, independence, and quality of life. You'll work as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, with direct access to a Clinical Lead for day-to-day clinical mentoring and an OT Team Leader for operational support.

We offer flexibility in how and where you work — including face-to-face visits, telehealth, home visiting, and kindy-based sessions. We're also flexible on employment structure: join us as an employee or a contractor — we'll make it work for you.
