We aim to provide to all the staff a network of talented people to access and share knowledge.

Graduating this year?

Graduating as a Physiotherapist this year? Then we would like you to start your career with us in the Garden City. Toowoomba is home to over 100,000 people, and as the regional capital for the Darling Downs, it services a population in excess of 500,000 people.

We are looking for motivated young professionals who want the opportunity to work as part of a multidisciplinary team with great people. At Downs Physiotherapy we know that our people provide the foundation of our business success. Our employees enjoy a working environment that encourages creativity, teamwork and innovation.

This philosophy is supported by the strength and commitment of our team, our ethical approach to practice and the passion for our people, our profession and our patients.

Starting Your Career

It can be a difficult choice or an easy one but whatever decision you make, it must be the right one for you.

Experience over many years has shown us that young professionals need a few basic things when they commence practicing as a physiotherapist. They need security of employment, mentoring that supports their development, opportunity to advance individual skills and knowledge and a work environment that values them as more than just an employee.

Professional Development

Our professional development approach is one that is envied by other professionals. At Downs Physiotherapy we value our people, their skills and abilities.

It is essential for us as a team to ensure that our people are provided with the opportunity to continually upgrade their individual skills & knowledge so as to continue providing high quality care to our clients.

Not all of our training can be done "in-house" Although we have an active in-service training program our commitment to external education has been the cornerstone of our successful recruitment in recent years.

Providing there is a benefit to both the practice and the practitioner, we will offer 100% support to the employee for professional development courses whether they are conducted locally or interstate…….. and we will pay you while you are away.

Workplace Flexibility

We believe that work/life conflicts are a fundamental business issue, so in partnership with our people, we will strive to ensure that work life issues are addressed in a way that meets the needs of the practice, its management & operation as well as its team members

Diverse Caseloads

No one likes doing the same thing over and over so we are acutely aware that repetition in practice can be a source of professional dissatisfaction. We will endeavour to provide as much diversity in practice as we are operationally able to.

The benefits of a private practice in a hospital environment are such that there will always be diversity in the working day of our practitioners:

• Musculo-Skeletal Conditions
• Post Operative Management (In-Patients & Out-Patients)
• Orthopaedic Conditions
• Lymphoedema Management
• Sports Injury Management
• Cardio-Respiratory
• ICU
• Gerontology
• Women's Health & Continence
• Workplace Injury Management
• Hand Therapy / Splinting
• Hydrotherapy
• Shoulder Management
• Exercise Programs (including Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehab)

If you have a special interest, we will encourage you to pursue it.
