occupational therapist profiles on Carevo in the same area
In the 90 days to 12 October 2026, people within 30 km of Avondale Heights submitted 40 care requests through Carevo that an occupational therapist could take on. The services asked for most were therapy, allied health and occupational therapy. None came from Avondale Heights itself in that window. The nearest sources were Melbourne (13, 10 km away), Craigieburn (3, 21 km away) and Hoppers Crossing (2, 19 km away). 13 of the 40 arrived in the last 30 days.
38% of these requests were sent by a support coordinator, and 35% by the person needing care. A coordinator or plan manager often places more than one participant, so a good first job with one can lead to more. 70% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

Requests are anonymised: no names, contact details or health information are stored or shown. A suburb is named only when it has at least three requests in the window; otherwise the region is shown. Who is asking and the timing are inferred from the request by Carevo's classifier, and timing is described in the past tense once a request is more than 30 days old. Regenerated from Carevo's database at each deployment. How we calculate these numbers.

What occupational therapist pay looks like
Occupational therapists are degree-qualified; the Health Professionals and Support Services Award sets the minimum but most are paid above award on individual agreements, so these figures are indicative market ranges rather than fixed award rates.
$0 to $130 an hour
| Weekday | $40 to $65 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $60 to $98 an hour |
| Sunday | $70 to $114 an hour |
| Public holiday | $80 to $130 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on award minimum rates; most allied health professionals work weekdays and are paid an annual above-award salary rather than hourly penalty rates.
How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$36.22–$40.49
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, Level 2–3 full-time (Fair Work pay guide)
$73.58
an hour · NDIS price limit for standard weekday self-care support: the most a provider can bill a participant's plan for that hour, which funds wages, on-costs and overheads. A service price cap, not a worker wage (Pricing Schedule 2026–27)
Work out your own rate with the SCHADS award tool or the pay rate calculator.
Indicative hourly rates based on the Health Professionals and Support Services Award (MA000027), reviewed July 2025 (Fair Work pay guides). Modern award rates are national and do not vary by state. Pay is set by each provider and can be higher under an enterprise agreement. General information only, not financial advice.
Checks, qualifications and what providers look for are the same wherever you work: occupational therapist checks and credentials, occupational therapist pay rates.
