Work With Us
Help kids thrive.
Join our team.
We're building Melbourne's most connected paediatric therapy team. If you're passionate about collaborative care and real outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
Not your typical therapy job
We do things differently — and it makes all the difference for our therapists and the families we work with.
True collaboration
You'll never work in a silo. Our therapists share goals, communicate weekly, and coordinate care so every child gets the best of every discipline.
Therapy where it matters
Work in homes, schools, and community settings. See the real impact of your work in the environments where skills are actually used.
Less admin, more therapy
One service agreement per family. One intake process. We've stripped back the paperwork so you can focus on what you're actually good at.
Grow with us
We're at the start of something special. Join early and help shape how we build — your ideas and expertise will directly influence our direction.
Learn from every discipline
Working alongside OTs, speech paths, psychologists, and behaviour specialists means you'll grow faster than in any single-discipline practice.
Families love us
Families tell us Foundations First changed things for their child. You'll see the difference a coordinated team makes — every single week.
What we stand for
These aren't just words on a wall. They guide every decision we make.
Child at the centre
Every decision starts with "what's best for this child?" Not what's convenient, not what's billable — what actually moves the needle.
One team, not six providers
We share information, align goals, and pull in the same direction. The family tells their story once — we do the rest.
Real-world impact
Therapy should transfer to life. We work in homes, schools, and communities because that's where skills are actually needed.
Honesty always
Honest with families about what's working and what isn't. Honest with each other about how we can improve. No fluff.
Find your fit
All roles are mobile across Melbourne. Flexible hours and caseloads available.
Speech Pathologist
Work with children across a range of communication needs — speech, language, social communication, and feeding. You'll collaborate with OTs, psychologists, and behaviour specialists as part of one coordinated team. NDIS experience preferred but not essential.

Occupational Therapist
Support children with sensory processing, fine motor, self-care, and school readiness in their natural environments. You'll be part of a multi-disciplinary team sharing goals and strategies across every session.
Apply now
Behaviour Support Practitioner
Develop and implement positive behaviour support plans that actually work — because you'll design them alongside the OT, speech path, and psychologist who know the child just as well as you do.
Apply now
Nutritionist / SOS Feeding Therapist
Help children expand their diets and build a positive relationship with food. Experience with SOS feeding therapy or paediatric nutrition highly valued. You'll work closely with OTs and speech paths for sensory-informed feeding strategies.
Apply now
Psychologist
Provide assessment and intervention for children with developmental, emotional, and behavioural needs. Your insights will guide the entire team's approach — not just your own sessions.
Apply now
Support Worker
Help children put therapy strategies into practice in real life. You'll be guided by the clinical team's shared plan, so you always know what to work on and why. Training and mentorship provided.
