Ready for your next adventure while making a genuine impact in mental health? This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join a public health service in stunning Western Australia.

- AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- Experience working in acute or inpatient mental health
- Level 1 or Level 2 clinician experience

- Free shared accommodation
- $400 travel reimbursement for flights
- Minimum 6-week contract with strong potential to extend
- Full support from the CMR team throughout your placement
Why WA?
Imagine finishing work and watching the sun set over the turquoise waters of Cable Beach, exploring the famous Staircase to the Moon, or spending weekends discovering this incredible part of the country. This contract offers the perfect mix of meaningful work and unforgettable adventure.
If you're looking for a rewarding mental health locum where you can utilise your skills, work autonomously, and experience one of Australia's most iconic destinations, we'd love to hear from you.
