What the role involves
Physiotherapists working within Carevo’s network deliver therapy to NDIS participants and aged care recipients in their homes and community settings across Mount Gambier and surrounding areas. Day to day, this means conducting initial assessments, setting functional goals with participants, and delivering hands-on treatment or exercise programs designed around each person’s individual plan.
Common clinical areas include neurological conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis, musculoskeletal injury, falls prevention, post-operative rehabilitation, and mobility support for people with physical disability. Because you are visiting people in their own environments, you have a real opportunity to see how conditions affect everyday life and to tailor your approach accordingly.
You might also liaise with occupational therapists, GPs, or support coordinators to make sure your treatment fits into a broader care plan. NDIS reporting and progress notes are part of the role, so strong documentation habits matter.
Who you would support
Most of your clients will be NDIS participants funding physiotherapy under their Capacity Building or Daily Activities budget, or aged care recipients receiving services through a Home Care Package. You could work with children who have cerebral palsy, adults recovering from acquired brain injury, or older Australians managing chronic pain and reduced mobility. Each client has their own goals, so no two days look the same.
How Carevo works
Carevo is not a job board with a fixed list of vacancies. It is a curated availability directory for care and health professionals.
Here is how it works. You create a profile on Carevo, listing your qualifications, clinical areas, availability, and the areas around Mount Gambier where you are willing to work. Carevo then presents your profile to NDIS providers, aged care organisations, and other registered services in our network that are actively looking for physiotherapy support.
When a provider finds your profile and thinks you are a good fit, they contact you directly. You review the arrangement, ask your own questions, and decide whether to take it on. You stay in control of what you accept.
There are no application forms to fill out for specific vacancies. You register once and let interested providers come to you.
Pay and working arrangements
Pay rates for NDIS and aged care physiotherapy vary depending on your qualifications, years of experience, whether you are employed directly by a provider or contracting independently, and the specific funding line involved. Carevo does not set or guarantee pay rates. When a provider contacts you, that is the right time to discuss terms.

What physiotherapist pay looks like
Physiotherapists 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.
| Weekday | $38 to $60 an hour |
| Saturday | $57 to $90 an hour |
| Sunday | $67 to $105 an hour |
| Public holiday | $76 to $120 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.
Indicative hourly rates based on the Health Professionals and Support Services Award (MA000027), reviewed July 2025. 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.
