Occupational Therapist – Casual Pool | Cairns

Job Title: Occupational Therapist – Casual Pool | Cairns

Classification: Healthcare & Medical > Occupational Therapy | Casual/Vacation

About the Role

Buenavista Services is an NDIS registered provider headquartered in Brisbane, with a growing team across Queensland. We're a small, family-owned business — and we're proud of it. You won't get lost in a corporate machine here; you'll be genuinely valued as part of a close-knit team that cares about the work it does.

We're looking for a registered Occupational Therapist to join our casual pool in Cairns. This is a flexible, low-commitment arrangement — there are no guaranteed hours, but when NDIS referrals come through, you choose when and how you work.

This role is ideal if you're already employed and want to supplement your income with meaningful, flexible assessment work on the side (subject to your employer's approval).

What You'll Be Doing

• Conducting NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) with participants in Cairns

• Completing reports and documentation remotely after the in-person assessment

• Delivering quality reports within a 3–4 week turnaround from assessment

What We're Looking For

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist (essential)

• Experience in functional capacity assessments, particularly within the NDIS (highly desirable)

• Strong written communication skills for report writing

• Self-motivated and able to manage your own workflow remotely

• Ability to work within the employment terms of current workplace. (i.e. workplace approves you working with a private practice NDIS provider.)

Pay & Conditions

• $100 per hour + superannuation

• Casual employment classification

• Work in your own time once assessments are booked

• No minimum hours guaranteed — work is referral-based

Our Culture

At Buenavista Services, we believe great care starts with a great team. As a family-owned provider, we lead with warmth, flexibility, and respect — for our participants and our staff. We're growing steadily across Queensland and love bringing on passionate clinicians who want to make a real difference without the rigidity of a large organisation. If you value autonomy, genuine support, and being known by name (not a staff number), you'll fit right in.
