Flexible Roles in Every Care Model
At HCA Allied Health, we know physiotherapists play a critical role in maintaining mobility, independence, and quality of life for older Australians.
That’s why we offer flexible opportunities across three care models—residential aged care, community aged care, and wellness centres. Whether you prefer working within a facility, providing care in clients’ homes, or delivering proactive therapies in dedicated centres, we have roles that match your expertise, interests, and lifestyle.
Residential Aged Care
Work in aged care facilities delivering regular physiotherapy services as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team. Enjoy structured caseloads, predictable scheduling, and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with residents. This model is ideal for physios who enjoy continuity and a collaborative environment.
Community Aged Care
Provide physiotherapy to older Australians in their own homes. This model offers flexibility, independence and the chance to tailor your care to the real-world needs of your clients—helping them stay safe and mobile at home. Perfect for those searching for physiotherapy opportunities with flexible scheduling.
Wellness Centre
Deliver physiotherapy in purpose-built wellness centres through our partnership with Opal HealthCare. Focus on preventative care, early intervention, and maintaining mobility in a modern, client-focused environment. These settings are ideal for physio for elderly clients, who offer support before functional issues become critical.
