Make a meaningful impact by supporting older Australians to maintain their independence, mobility, and quality of life. At HCA Allied Health, we partner with aged care providers across Australia to deliver occupational therapy services in both residential and home care settings—helping clients stay safe, capable, and confident in their everyday routines.
Our OTs in Aged Care have moved from prescriptive methods to an evidence-based care approach using innovative technology.
Evidence-Based Care
Our evidence-based program and practices ensure the highest quality of care and optimal outcomes for residents.
Work In A Growing Sector
With an ageing Australian population, extensive government support and limited competition – Aged Care jobs offer job security and stability.

We’re OT Focused
At HCA Allied Health, we know occupational therapists play a critical role in helping older Australians maintain independence, function, and safety in their daily lives.
