Rehabilitation Consultant - Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist

IPAR are seeking individuals with a professional background in Physiotherapy or Exercise Physiology interested in working in the Occupational Rehabilitation sector in Canberra!

This is a great opportunity to joining a tight knit, high performing team known for its warmth, collaboration and strong multidisciplinary expertise. Our Canberra consultants care deeply about each other and the community we serve, and the culture reflects that: supportive, positive, and grounded in genuine connection. Whether it’s morning coffee catch‑ups, friendly table‑tennis battles or working together on complex and meaningful cases, the team brings curiosity, compassion and a shared commitment to achieving great outcomes.

This opportunity working as a Rehabilitation Consultant stands out as you will also get exposure delivering some of IPAR’s innovative services including our pain education Re-thinking Recovery program. This program centres around using virtual reality and modern pain science to help people understand pain and re-train their brain and body. Re-thinking recovery is used in collaboration with a client’s current healthcare approach and will involve engagement with the entire treating team to ensure that the service is focused on the client. 

Some of your day to day includes:

• Case management (caseloads are manageable, and our consultants have the support of Rehabilitation Assistants to alleviate administrative tasks); 
• Applying your clinical knowledge to improve return to work outcomes and collaborating with employers and employees to develop and implement injury prevention and workplace education programs;
• Working collaboratively with injured workers, employers, medical and allied health professionals and across various schemes such as workers compensation, compulsory third party, life insurance, Comcare, Department of Veteran's Affairs, and employer-funded injury prevention programs;
• Assisting those with an injury or health condition to achieve return to health and return to work outcomes;
• Completing a variety of assessments using your clinical skills, including but not limited to initial, workplace and vocational assessments to review diagnosis, support treatment plans, address psychosocial barriers to employment and identify suitable employment opportunities for workers who have sustained workplace injuries or injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents.

We offer a hands-on approach to learning and developing your career. You’ll find the new graduates of yesterday are the leaders of today. Whether it’s a new location, new service or role within the wider MedHealth group, the career opportunities for Rehabilitation Consultant are endless.
