About the Role:

We’re seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Grade 2 Physiotherapist to join our CART team on a part-time, ongoing basis (0.42 EFT / 32 hours per fortnight), working across multiple Monash Health sites.

In this role, you’ll be part of a dynamic short-term service supporting clients soon after their admission to acute or subacute care, while they await ongoing community physiotherapy.

You’ll work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to deliver best practice, evidence-based care, optimise operational effectiveness, and contribute to strong partnerships both within Monash Health and with external providers. A key part of the role involves providing education and support to clients and their families/carers to help them understand their clinical condition and confidently self-manage their symptoms at home.

CART - Intensive Support Team is a tiered approach to client care that allows resources to be directed to those who need them the most whilst actively supporting people in the community to avoid ED and acute presentations. Strategically CART partners with acute and primary care services to enable smooth transitions across settings.
