Make a Lasting Impact. Work Where It Matters.

Foundations Therapy & Support is a mobile paediatric OT service working directly with children and families in real-life settings - homes, schools, playgrounds, and the wider community.

We’re not your standard OT clinic. Our small but mighty team blends individualised therapy with inclusive group OT programs, like our innovative Sense AFL and Sense Rugby program - using sports as our tool to build regulation, motor skills, social skills, and learn to enjoy the benefits and joy of playing sport + develop the foundations to try a mainstream sport.

We’re looking for a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to grow with us, share ideas, and help shape the future of what therapy can look like.
