Therapy Assistant – Permanent Part Time or Full Time (Min. 25 hrs/week, up to full-time)

📍 Townsville – Pimlico | Hands, Paediatrics, Community OT
🕘 Monday to Friday between 8:00 am – 5:30 pm

At Apricus Health, Therapy Assistants are essential problem-solvers and valued team members who free up our clinicians to do their best work. We’re looking for a capable, thoughtful Therapy Assistant to join our growing team in a permanent role.

You’ll work across our hand therapy, community, and paediatric teams, with a strong focus on hands-on support in hand therapy and high-level clinical admin.

This is the ideal role for someone who’s organised, proactive, and thrives on variety — whether that’s calling clients, prepping reports, or stepping into a clinic room to assist with treatment.

What You’ll Be Doing

Clinical Support (Hands): Assist with treatments such as laser therapy, heat and soft tissue massage, splint adjustments, and guided exercises. You may also support therapists during appointments or manage some clients directly under their guidance.

Clinical Admin: Draft and pre-fill reports, create diagrams, prepare therapy resources, follow up on quotes and equipment orders, assist with referrals and service agreements, and help create internal processes and checklists.

Client Support: Follow up with clients after appointments, assist with risk assessments, and provide professional and timely communication.

Marketing & Events: Support with events and expos, help coordinate referrer drop-offs, and get involved in small marketing projects — from assembling gift bags to delivering baked goods to local clinics.

Team Collaboration: Work closely with our Therapy Assistant team, admin team, and therapists to ensure smooth, efficient, and client-centred care across the board.

We’d Love to Hear from You if You:

Are a natural problem-solver who can think ahead and work independently

Communicate clearly and warmly, especially with clients and families

Are confident with systems, documents, templates, and learning new tech

Have strong attention to detail and enjoy creating order and structure

Are adaptable and comfortable with tasks that change day to day

Hold a current driver’s licence and police check (or are willing to obtain them)

Highly Regarded:

Studying Occupational Therapy (Part-time) or Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance

Experience in health, disability, or allied health admin (especially with DVA or My Aged Care)

Familiarity with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Office, or practice management systems like Cliniko

What You’ll Get at Apricus Health

A chance to build your own clinical caseload as we grow our Therapy Assistant services

A close-knit Support Team of therapy and admin assistants, who support one another and enjoy their work

Paid professional development, wellness budget, birthday leave, and access to our EAP (available to both you and a partner)

A warm, respectful and ambitious team culture

Real-world experience in a supportive, values-led allied health setting
