The role

The Orange therapy team consists of 6 therapists including three physiotherapists, two occupational therapists and 1 speech pathologist. Our centre is extremely well equipped to support the caseload of clients and families that CPA supports, most of whom are 0-18 years old. The team also provides service in the community and works closely with our team in Dubbo to service clients across the Central West.

A healthcare or clinical background is essential. For more information about regional opportunities with Cerebral Palsy Alliance please visit our website Required Skills.
