Australian Army Reserve - Physiotherapist (Permanent) (Start ASAP)

Your role:

As a Physiotherapist in the Army Reserve, you'll contribute to the care and prevention of physical injuries through rehabilitation and human performance initiatives. Army and Army Reserve personnel are required to maintain a high level of fitness, which is why your skill set is highly valued. 

In this part-time opportunity, you will work within a multi-disciplinary health care team to provide high-value care to pre-and post-operative cases and work with physical training instructors for injury prevention and human performance initiatives. You'll manage assessment, treatment, diagnosis, programs and plans for human mobility function improvement. 

You'll still get to keep your full-time career, but this will be an additional role offering a new perspective and a chance to get out of your comfort zone, learn new skills and make mates for life. Plus, you can earn tax-free pay. 

If you're keen on a new challenge in a new environment, this role is an excellent complement to your full-time physiotherapy work.

Wage: 

The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience. 

On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn $226/day tax-free.

Life in the Army Reserve: 

Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible. 

Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days a year. This could involve one night a week and a few weekends a year, even extended periods away. 

We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments, and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.

Apply now: 

You must have completed a Bachelor or Masters of Physiotherapy or equivalent and be currently registered with AHPRA as a Physiotherapist. You must also have a minimum of 2 years of experience in a musculoskeletal or sports physio setting, have completed Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) Sports Level 1 and have demonstrated experience working with sporting teams.
