Occupational Therapist | Forster & Port Macquarie
At Unified Health, we’ve been delivering high-quality, person-centred care since 2011.
We’re a well-established multidisciplinary organisation working along the East Coast of NSW, with clinics in Forster, Newcastle, and Ballina. Our clinicians work across a variety of settings including private practice, NDIS, aged care, and homecare packages providing exposure, clinical diversity, and the ability to make a genuine impact from day one.
Our Forster clinic offers a truly special experience: a welcoming, experienced, and high-performing team committed to growing the next generation of health professionals. There isn’t anywhere quite like Unified Health. Opportunities like this don’t come along often and for good reason.
We value creativity, growth, and authentic teamwork, and we’re committed to walking alongside you as you transition from student to confident clinician.
Feeling Underwhelmed or a New Grad?
- If you’re a new graduate or in your first few years out as an OT and feel like your current opportunity isn’t quite delivering what you expected, this role was made for you.

About the Role
This is a full-time position based at our Forster clinic, offering variety and flexibility. You’ll work across a blended caseload of private clients, NDIS participants (including paediatric, adolescent, and adult clients), and aged care clients both within the clinic and in the community.

- Manage a varied caseload with strong supervision and mentoring
- Conduct assessments and develop therapy plans aligned with client goals
- Recommend and trial assistive technology and home modifications
- Build your confidence across private, NDIS, and aged care service streams
- Access weekly supervision and a full New Graduate Framework
- Use clinic-based cars available daily for all community travel

- Physiotherapists
- Exercise Physiologists
- Dietitians
- Occupational Therapy Assistants
- And a hands-on, supportive management team who are actively involved in your journey
This cross-disciplinary exposure will help you develop faster and deliver more holistic care to clients of all ages and needs.

🎓 New Graduate Program – Weekly supervision, structured learning, and ongoing support
💻 Best-in-class tech – Laptops, tablets, and leading clinical software to support your day-to-day
