We’re looking for a passionate Occupational Therapist to join our Adelaide team and make a genuine impact in the lives of Autistic children, young people and adults.
This is a varied, community-based role where no two days look the same. You’ll manage your own caseload while being supported by a strong, collaborative clinical team.
You’ll work directly with participants in their everyday environments—home, school, or community—helping them build practical skills, independence, and confidence in line with their goals.
At Aspect, we understand that once you’ve met one Autistic person, you’ve met one Autistic person. This role offers real clinical diversity, creativity, and the opportunity to tailor supports to each individual.
