Occupational Therapist - Adult Mental Health Caseload

Welcome to Ability Action Australia!

We are one of the largest providers to the NDIS, with a multi-disciplinary team approach, tailored to the needs and goals of our participants and their family.

We’re seeking an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our South Perth team, with a strong focus on adult psychosocial practice. In this role, you’ll support individuals with mental health challenges and complex needs to build independence, enhance wellbeing, and increase community participation through evidence-based, recovery-oriented interventions.

You’ll be part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team, with the opportunity to shape your caseload in line with your expertise and interests. While the primary focus is adult psychosocial, there is flexibility to incorporate other areas if desired.

What keeps things interesting is the mix of metro and regional work options available. You’ll have the opportunity to work across different settings and communities, giving you real variety in how you deliver support and the participants you work with.

For those who enjoy a bit of travel, there are also optional FIFO opportunities to Kalgoorlie, Geraldton and Port Hedland, a great way to broaden your experience with travel and accommodation organised and supported by our team!
