Description
Our client is an established, clinician-run multidisciplinary allied health provider with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, families and communities. The organisation has built a strong reputation for evidence-based allied health services, with a particular strength in diagnostic assessment and paediatric care.
Creating an environment where clinicians can access regular supervision, informal support and genuine opportunities to develop their clinical interests.

- Telehealth options where clinically appropriate
- A structured Canberra caseload, with afternoons generally concentrated across Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and mornings on other days

During the first 90 days, your Team Leader will help plan sessions, with clinicians able to modify and build their schedules as they become comfortable.
