Welcome to Ability Action Australia!

We are one of the largest providers to the NDIS, supporting over 10,000 participants every year with the care they need, when and where it is needed. We have a multi-disciplinary team approach, building a quality support service around the needs and goals of our participants and their family.

Help us help others with life changing support that can improve their independence, access, development, health and wellbeing, and function.

We are seeking a talented and passionate Senior Paediatric Physiotherapist to be part of our multidisciplinary team in Newcastle.

You will play a vital role in providing high-quality, evidence-based physiotherapy services to children with a wide range of developmental and physical needs, making a significant difference to their development and wellbeing.

We promise to invest in you, so you can thrive in our fast-paced, energetic, and fun workplace. No two days are ever the same! You might find us in childcare centres, schools, day programs, homes, in the pool or at the park, and / or our clinic spaces.
