Occupational Therapist - Community OT About the job Brisbane | Community-Based | OT-Led Sustainable Practice This might be for you if you love working with adults, care about meaningful outcomes, and want flexibility that genuinely works in real life. I’m Lisa, an Occupational Therapist and Director at Strive to Thrive Therapy. I still work clinically alongside our team, and I see too many capable OTs burn out, not because they weren’t good at their job, but because the structure around them didn’t support sustainable practice. We’re a fully mobile OT team supporting adults across Brisbane and surrounds. Our work is primarily NDIS-funded, with some aged care, and focuses on functional assessments, assistive technology, home modifications, and capacity building that creates practical, lasting change. We’re growing and are open to part-time and full-time permanent Occupational Therapists joining our team.
