• Opportunities to work with people with disability with varying needs, at all ages and life stages.
• Work with children and families in their everyday environment, including their homes, kindergarten or school.
• Gain experience working with people with disability, or build on your existing disability experience.

• Opportunities to get involved in research and development.
• Diversity of case load and ability to work in a person-centred practice model.
• Competitive salary.
• Substantial tax benefits (salary packaging).
• No day is the same!

No experience with disability?

Yooralla understands that not all allied health practitioners will have experience working with people with disability. That’s why we offer extensive training and support, to ensure our allied health professionals can apply their skills to effectively support people with disability to achieve their goals.
