Answers to frequently asked questions

  • if you love the sound of parts of this job and have queries or concerns about other parts, let's talk about it! 

  • you would only work with babies if you have training and experience. If you prefer to work with preschool aged children and onwards, that is no problem. If you are wanting to gain experience working with babies we have opportunities to do that.

  • yes we do need a physio eager to work in the pool most days. We typically do some aquatic and land based sessions on most days. There is potential for this to be altered for more senior physio positions dependent upon wait list and current team make - up

  • this is an employed not a contracted position
