Occupational Therapist - Graduate Program 2027

MedHealth is expanding its Hanrahan Health team in Aspley for 2027, inviting new graduates to apply for a Graduate Occupational Therapist role. Hanrahan Health operates within the MedHealth family, delivering multidisciplinary therapy across the lifespan, from toddlers to older adults, across clinics, a private hospital, aged care facilities, schools, homes and via telehealth. The company aims to help diverse client groups participate fully in daily life, with a supportive, opportunity-filled environment for growth.

This graduate program is designed to give you hands-on experience with strong supervision and professional development. The role is based onsite in Aspley, and it suits someone who wants meaningful client work, a clear path to leadership opportunities, and a collaborative team culture that values ongoing learning.

Graduate Occupational Therapist, Aspley 2027 Program

On a typical day, you’ll manage an allocated caseload and deliver therapeutic services in a timely way, building your confidence as you apply OT techniques across a range of client needs. You’ll assess clients’ emotional, cognitive, developmental and physical function through clinical observations and standardised assessments, then translate what you find into treatment goals that are tailored to each person. Your work will be grounded in evidence-based interventions, and you’ll provide guidance on adaptations to people’s environments, whether at home, in schools, workplaces or residential facilities, to support participation and independence. You’ll also consider and recommend assistive technology when it can help overcome functional barriers and promote greater autonomy.

The role sits at the intersection of hands-on therapy and practical problem-solving, with an emphasis on collaboration with families, educators and other professionals. You’ll contribute to a team that values a mixed caseload and varied settings, and you’ll have the chance to apply your growing clinical skills across age groups and contexts as you progress through the graduate program.

Beyond direct client work, the position offers a structure that supports your development: a slow ramp-up in the first year, opportunities for paid professional development, and supervision designed to help you build confidence and competence. You’ll be part of a vibrant, supportive team that prioritises growth and leadership readiness as you move forward in your OT career.

Tips for Applicants for the Aspley Graduate OT Program

Lead your resume with your degree and your AHPRA status or eligibility, and highlight any placements or practicum you’ve completed in disability or related settings. If you’ve worked with clients across age groups or in schools, include concrete examples that show your ability to support participation and independence.

In your cover letter and during interviews, prove your strong communication skills by sharing specific situations where you’ve collaborated with clients, families and other professionals. Also demonstrate that you meet the must-have requirement of a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle, and convey your genuine passion for disability work through concise anecdotes and outcomes from your experience.

Prepare for interviews by outlining how you would assess a client, develop goals from standardised assessments, and plan evidence-based interventions. Be ready to discuss how you would support environmental adaptations in home, school and work settings, and your approach to using Assistive Technology to promote independence. You should also be prepared to talk about how you would engage with the supervision and PD opportunities available in the program.

Ask thoughtful questions about practical ramp-up plans for the first year, how 1:1 weekly supervision integrates with group supervision, and how the program supports graduates who are aiming for future supervisory or leadership roles within MedHealth.
