About the Opportunity
We’re seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Grade 2 Physiotherapist to join the CART Intensive Support Team at Monash Health on a part-time, ongoing basis (0.42 EFT / 32 hours per fortnight). The role is primarily based at Berwick Community Health and involves working across multiple sites.
This is a unique opportunity to work in a short-term, high-impact service supporting patients soon after admission to acute or subacute care, bridging the critical gap while they await ongoing community physiotherapy.
You’ll step into a role where your clinical skills are used at pace and purpose—helping people regain function, confidence, and independence at a pivotal point in their recovery journey.
Why this role stands out
This is not a static inpatient or clinic-based role. You will:
- Work across multiple Monash Health sites and undertake home visits
- Support clients during a short but highly influential phase of care
- Collaborate closely within a skilled multidisciplinary team
- Play a key role in preventing avoidable ED and acute presentations
- Help patients and families build confidence to self-manage at home
Every day is different, and the impact of your intervention is immediate and visible.
About Us
CART delivers a tiered, person-centred model of care that targets support where it is most needed—helping people remain safely in the community and avoid unnecessary hospital presentations.
Working in partnership with acute and primary care services, CART supports smooth transitions across the healthcare system and provides short-term care coordination for individuals with chronic conditions and frequent hospital use, with a strong focus on self-management and continuity of care.
About You
You are a confident, experienced Physiotherapist who enjoys variety, autonomy, and meaningful client interaction.
You bring strong clinical reasoning and assessment skills, along with the ability to engage, educate, and empower clients and carers to support safe recovery at home.
You thrive in environments where you can work both independently and as part of a collaborative team, and you are motivated by improving outcomes for people with complex needs.
You will bring:
- Strong ability to work independently and within a multidisciplinary team
- Excellent communication and engagement skills
- Commitment to evidence-based, safe, client-centred care
- A focus on education, self-management, and prevention
- Adaptability and confidence working across settings
- A collaborative, solution-focused mindset
What you need
- Minimum 5 years’ post graduate Physiotherapy experience
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy (or equivalent)
- Current AHPRA registration (no restrictions)
- Current Driver’s Licence
- Postgraduate study (desirable)
- Australian Physiotherapy Association membership (desirable)
In Return

- Salary packaging – increase your take-home pay with generous salary packaging options
- Professional development – access to ongoing training, education, and leadership opportunities to support your career growth
- Supportive team environment – work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team that values innovation, compassion, and excellence
