Physiotherapist – Sports & Performance
SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy | Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast QLD
Full Time or Part Time | Above-Award Pay + Performance Incentives
This Is Not a Standard Physio Job
SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy is expanding and we are seeking a physiotherapist to join our performance-focused clinic on the Sunshine Coast.
SurfEdge works closely with ocean athletes, endurance athletes and active individuals, including athletes competing at national and international surf sports events such as the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships and Iron Series.
We are a clinic built around strength-based rehabilitation, strong clinical reasoning and long-term outcomes, rather than volume-driven care.
This role is suited to a physiotherapist who enjoys working with active patients and athletes and who is motivated to build and develop their own clinical niche within a growing clinic.
Applicants must hold current AHPRA registration, have full working rights in Australia, and be based locally on the Sunshine Coast or relocating to the area.
Flexible start date with part-time or full-time arrangements considered.
About the Role
SurfEdge operates within a high-performance sporting environment and regularly works with athletes preparing for and competing at national and international events.
Our clinic focuses on sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, working with ocean athletes, multi-sport athletes, endurance athletes and active individuals who value high-quality physiotherapy care.
SurfEdge is also a registered provider of the ONERO exercise program, providing opportunities to deliver exercise-based bone health classes and develop expertise in this area.
This role offers genuine autonomy to develop your clinical interests while contributing to a growing clinic that values strong clinical reasoning and high standards of care.
Opportunity to Develop Your Own Clinical Niche
SurfEdge encourages clinicians to develop their own clinical niche.
Applicants who already have a special area of interest, or who are motivated to develop one, will be supported to build and grow this within the clinic through mentorship, professional development and the opportunity to develop a dedicated patient stream aligned with their interests.
Role Expectations
SurfEdge operates within an active rehabilitation environment, and our physiotherapists work across a range of settings depending on patient needs.
This may include:
• individual physiotherapy consultations in clinic
• exercise-based rehabilitation and small group classes (including ONERO)
• hydrotherapy sessions where clinically appropriate
• gym-based rehabilitation sessions with patients
• occasional sports or event coverage within the local sporting community
Applicants should be comfortable supporting patients through active rehabilitation in gym, class and hydrotherapy environments.
