About the Opportunity

Kurrajong Therapy Plus (KTP) has exciting opportunities for Physio, OT and Speech Graduates from 2022 and 2023 to join our 2024 Allied Health Graduate Program.

• Work as part of a large and passionate multidisciplinary team – daily peer to peer learning opportunities
• Clinical supervision and support – our graduate program started in 2018, we know how to foster your professional growth
• Positive workplace culture – it’s not just birthday cake and team outings (although we do those), you’ll feel a real sense of belonging at KTP

• Staff wellbeing program and initiatives – including Employee Assistance Program for lives tough times

Paid parental leave, relocation assistance, yearly uniform allowance and more! Is something missing from this list that’s important to you? We would love to hear about it.
