Austin Health OT

Our OT managers are fun, flexible and know how to trust and develop their staff. Austin is home to 3 statewide services that the successful applicant will get to work in- The Victorian Respiratory and Spinal Cord Injury services and Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program.

We're hiring! We're seeking a part-time permanent grade 3 neurorehabilitation OT- this is a unique, highly sought after job. If acute early rehabilitation or subacute inpatient rehabilitation is your area of expertise, get in touch occupationaltherapy@austin.org.au.

Fantastic news, we're looking forward to getting started. @Austin_Health @NatashaLannin

Excited to share that our team has been funded to address the research-clinical practice gap in stroke rehabilitation #MRFF #ClinicianResearcher #PROMOTE is a #implementation cRCT based in #rehabilitation @MonashNeurosci @strokefdn @RecoveryBrain

1/ This is such an important model to learn from. Every DLO we have encountered has been a problem solver; they been advocates negotiating systems; they care; they work with u; they make uncompromising systems work for u @CIDvoice @VALID_Inc @DisabilityHlth @mdi_unimelb

A shout out (again) to the fab disability liaison officers at @AustinHealthDLO They have made whatseemed the impossible possible for which I am deeply grateful. As opposed to the trauma we are experiencing w so many other systems right now @drgeorgethecrip @VicGovDH @VicGovDFFH
