Physiotherapist | Mackay | MSK Caseload with Workers’ Comp and Sports Rehab

Here’s a question I ask a lot of physios. When did you last see a client all the way through, from the first assessment to the day they walked out without needing you?

In a lot of city clinics, the honest answer is “not often.” Short appointments, back to back bookings and clients who drop off halfway. Mackay is different. The caseload here is broad, the clients stick around, and you get to see your work pay off.

I’m Stuart, Head of Talent at Proactive Health. This is one of the regional physio roles I’m most excited about.

Where You’ll Work

You’ll join Proactive Health in Mackay, led by Hayley Ferguson. Hayley runs her teams in a linear fashion, this means that you are all part of a team that has a voice and influence over direction. The team includes EPs and physios, with visiting podiatry, OT, dietetics, which means you’ve got someone to hand a client over to for long term conditioning once your acute work is done. You’re also not carrying every complex case on your own.

The clinic is part of Proactive Health, a national network of more than 40 allied health businesses across 350+ locations. On a normal day you won’t notice the network much. You’ll notice it when you want CPD, a second opinion or a step up in your career.
