About the role
In this role, you will conduct physical, mobility, and fall-risk evaluations, deliver targeted exercise programs, strength training, pain management, source and prescribe relevant mobility aids and equipment in community-based settings under the guidance and support of a Senior TCP Physiotherapist.
The role requires excellent communication, documentation, prioritisation and time-management skills, with the ability to work independently while contributing to a multidisciplinary, goal-focused reablement program.
TCP is a supportive multidisciplinary team made up of Clinical Care Coordinators and Allied Health clinicians, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work, speech pathology and dietetics.

Ongoing support will be provided through the Allied Health Team Leader, clinical supervision, multidisciplinary case conferences, peer support and opportunities for professional development.
