Company Description

Welcome to Ability Action Australia!

We are one of the largest providers to the NDIS, with a multi-disciplinary team approach, tailored to the needs and goals of our participants and their family.

Job Description

Passionate about mental health? Ready to make a lasting difference?

We’re seeking an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our South Perth team, with a strong focus on adult psychosocial practice.
