Featured careers: Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy in a hospital environment provides a unique opportunity for professionals to make a profound difference to their client’s lives.

With opportunities to work across a number of sub-specialty areas including musculoskeletal, paediatrics, emergency, pain management, women’s health, neurological and geriatric rehabilitation, our team supports services across the breadth of the Townsville Hospital and Health Service, providing an opportunity for clinicians to work to full scope while continuing their training and professional development.

Our health service is proud of the opportunities afforded to our clinicians, with education opportunities including departmental and area-specific in-services, weekend workshops, access to a range of medical and allied health education sessions, as well as a world-class clinical library and a dedicated research support unit . Our physiotherapists also provide outreach services meaning a diverse client group; we can guarantee that no two days will ever be the same.

Launching a career with the Townsville HHS gives physiotherapists an opportunity to progress their careers in a tertiary setting, without the confines of a big city, meaning you can have work-life balance while maintaining a fulfilling career.
