Pay

What Melbourne NDIS OT roles pay.

Employed community roles we are working are typically $90,000 to $125,000 plus super, pro-rata. Leadership pathways sit around $90,000 to $120,000 plus super. Paediatric community work is often $53 to $80 per hour, depending on contractor or employed status and experience.

Package matters as much as the number. Ask about travel time, non-clinical days, supervision and whether admin is actually done for you.

Common questions

What do NDIS Occupational Therapists earn in Melbourne?

Current community and NDIS-facing OT roles we are briefing sit roughly between $90,000 and $125,000 plus super, pro-rata for part-time. Paediatric community work is often quoted hourly, commonly in the $50 to $80 range depending on employment type and experience. Clinical lead pathways sit around $90,000 to $120,000 plus super.

Do I need NDIS experience?

It helps, especially for community and paediatric caseloads. Clinicians with hospital, clinic or early-career paediatric experience are still considered where the team can support the transition. Tell us your setting preference when you register.

Are these roles clinic-based or mobile?

Both exist. Some are fully community-based with a home office and no clinic attendance. Others mix home, school and early learning visits. A smaller number are building a new OT stream inside an existing allied health team.
