A diverse service in a truly diverse region!
We work with people of all ages in the hospital and in the community, from birth to death, working alongside people to live their best lives.
Supporting family, friends, parents, spouses, loved ones and communities to care for one another.
We are passionate about supporting one another and have a strong supervision model for all members of staff, encouraging Bobath training, access to specialist stroke training and Occupational Therapy conferences (to name a few).
Due to the rural area, utilise the off-road cars to drive uphill and through rivers to get to patients.
There is the opportunity to bring you specialist skills or grow new skills in a new area, the great thing about Occupational Therapy is the multitude of places we can work.
We practice wheelchair skills on the boardwalk by the beach as well as modifying someone’s home to suit their physical needs.
