Build a meaningful career and life in the Darling Downs as an Exercise Physiologist supporting mental health recovery. Join a values-driven team where your work improves lives, your growth is prioritised, and your lifestyle benefits from a welcoming regional community.

What your day could look like

As an Exercise Physiologist, you'll make a real difference by helping people reconnect with their physical health as part of their mental health journey. You'll work in a collaborative, supportive environment where your ideas are valued, your growth is encouraged, and your impact is visible every day.

Every day, you'll contribute by:

  • Delivering tailored exercise programs that empower people to improve their wellbeing and recovery
  • Partnering with a multidisciplinary team to provide holistic, person-centred care
  • Driving quality improvements and bringing fresh ideas to enhance how services are delivered
  • Sharing your knowledge to support colleagues, students and the broader care team

Let's talk about you!

You're motivated by purpose and connection. You value kindness, respect and integrity, and you bring these qualities into every interaction—with patients, families and colleagues alike. You're someone who takes pride in helping others thrive, and you find energy in working as part of a team that genuinely supports each other. In this role, you'll build strong relationships, grow your clinical confidence and see firsthand the difference your work makes in people's lives.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

  • A recognised degree in Exercise Physiology and ESSA accreditation
  • Strong clinical capability and commitment to evidence-based practice
  • Confidence working collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment
  • Ability to prioritise effectively and adapt in a dynamic healthcare setting

You'll stand out if you bring experience in mental health care, or a passion for contributing to education, research or service innovation.

Most importantly, you're ready to build a fulfilling career and lifestyle—making a lasting impact through care that reflects compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage.
