Welcome to Ability Action Australia!

We are one of the largest providers to the NDIS, supporting over 10,000 participants every year with the care they need, when and where it is needed. We have a multi-disciplinary team approach, building a quality support service around the needs and goals of our participants and their family.

Help us help others with life changing support that can improve their independence, access, development, health and wellbeing, and function.

We’re looking for a passionate Senior Occupational Therapist to join our multi-disciplinary team, supporting NDIS participants across Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and surrounding areas (depending on where you live). You might find us in childcare centres, schools, aged care facilities, day programs, the community, homes, and/or our clinic space.
