Empower People Through Movement, Connection & Care

At Vector Health & Performance, we help people of all ages live stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling lives—every day. Our Allied Health Assistants are a vital part of our team, supporting physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and strength & conditioning coaches to deliver high-quality care across Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Biloela, and regional outreach communities.

We’re currently inviting applications from individuals at various stages of their professional development—whether you:

• Have recently completed, or are in the process of completing, your Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance or a similar qualification,

• Are studying in a university program such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, exercise and sports science, or medicine, and are looking to gain hands-on experience in a clinical environment.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey and keen to learn, or you’re ready to take on greater responsibility in therapy support and client care, we offer roles that will support your development while contributing to meaningful outcomes for our clients.

This is a unique opportunity to work across a diverse range of clinical settings and populations—including seniors, youth athletes, individuals with disability (NDIS), and those recovering from injury—while being part of a welcoming, multidisciplinary team.

Additional paid opportunities are also available for those interested in working as a First Aid Officer, Sports Trainer, or providing strapping and taping support at local sporting carnivals and events. These roles are ideal for those wanting to expand their skills and contribute to community sport through hands-on injury prevention and care, and may include match day attendance, pre-game preparation, and on-field support.
