About Community Rehabilitation
At Monash Health, we believe rehabilitation is about more than recovery. It's about helping people return to the activities, routines and connections that matter most to them. Our Community Rehabilitation Service provides personalised, goal-focused rehabilitation to adults following illness, injury or a change in their health or function.
Through a combination of home-based, centre-based and telehealth services, our interdisciplinary teams work closely with clients, families and carers to support recovery, build confidence and promote independence. We are a team that values collaboration, innovation and a genuine commitment to person-centred care. We embrace new ideas, support one another and believe that even small achievements can make a big difference in someone's life.
About You
You're a compassionate, organised and proactive clinician who enjoys seeing the bigger picture and bringing people together to achieve great outcomes. You understand that successful rehabilitation isn't just about clinical treatment. It's about listening to what matters to each person, recognising their individual needs and helping them navigate the services and support that will make a lasting difference.
You enjoy the variety of community-based care, thrive in a collaborative team and have the confidence to coordinate complex care while keeping clients at the centre of every decision.
You'll bring:
- A relevant Allied Health qualification with a minimum of four years' experience, or Registered Nurse qualifications with at least four years' post-graduate experience.
- Current AHPRA registration and/or eligibility for membership with your relevant professional body, as applicable.
- Experience in rehabilitation, community health, case management or discharge planning.

At Monash Health, you'll be part of a team that recognises the importance of every step in a person's recovery. You'll have the opportunity to build meaningful connections with clients, work alongside experienced clinicians and see firsthand the difference coordinated, compassionate care can make.
