Come and join the TPC team​
The Physio Co exists to help seniors stay mobile, safe & happy – wherever they call home.
At The Physio Co we are passionate about developing and maintaining a positive and connected team culture. Every day we connect as a team and grow together as a company.
Your opportunity to join ‘one of Australia’s Best Places to Work.’
TPC has been ranked as one of Australia’s Best Places to Work for 11 consecutive years (plus five years as one of Asia’s Best Workplaces).
Awards like these are great, but it doesn’t stop there.
Building a team culture where people want to come to work is something we are focused on every day. We know that when our team is happy, our clients are happy to!
And you too, could be part of our award-winning team.
The Physio Co exists for one reason: To help seniors stay mobile, safe & happy.
Every day we improve the quality of life for hundreds of seniors and help put a little bit of extraordinary in their everyday life. In order to do this, we need great physios who love to learn and grow, and who are ready to take on a new challenge each day.
Achieve memorable results for clientsÂ
Our team helps senior clients identify and achieve memorable results through individualised goal plans.
We don’t take the ‘one size fits all’ approach. Each client is given the opportunity to dream big so they can start to do more, be more and take on each day with more energy.
We help seniors wherever they call home; mostly in the community with occasional visits to retirement villages and in aged care facilities, either one-to-one or one-to-many, online or offline.

We’re a values driven crew at TPC – we achieve our goals by consistently living our 4 core values:
What a typical day could look like as a TPCer
When you join the TPC team, you become part of a supportive team that connects daily, but also allows for flexibility and autonomy so you can manage your own caseload. As you can imagine, our seniors are often complex and diverse, so you can rest assured your day will be varied and you will continue to develop as a Physio.
Following your initial two weeks of shadowing, we will ease you into your role with a manageable caseload. Within your first 12 months, we hope to have built your caseload to 70-80% billable (which is around 30 clients per week if working full time)
Here is an example of what a possible day could look like at TPC
Training and support
At TPC, we realise how important it is that your learning does not stop. Rest assured, we will never throw you into the deep end without support. It’s on us to ensure you have the right tools to become a great TPCer and an effective physio in the community!
We’ve developed a very structured onboarding process for our new physios:
- A welcome day in which we celebrate YOU! 🥳 We don’t just have a delicious lunch in your honour, we also train you on everything you need to know about TPC and the systems we use
- Two weeks of shadowing another TPCer until you are comfortable to see clients independently
- Your own TPC buddy – a mentor who will provide you with the support and guidance required to successfully launch your TPC career.
- One training session per week for a year with our TPC coach that is focused on becoming an expert in ageing and how to become the best TPCer you can be
- A small caseload of clients with a range of conditions to challenge your learning, growing this as you feel more confident.
- You will have a dedicated team leader who will be there to help support you and ensure you are LOVING your work every day and continuing to develop your skills both personally and professionally.
- Weekly/fortnightly coaching sessions with our wonderful TPC coaches to help build on your skills.

Future prospects
TPC is focused on, and committed to, helping you grow to become the best physio you can be. We will regularly check in to see how you are going with a view to better understanding the areas you would like to develop further in. We will listen, provide feedback and help create a development path based on these conversations with you.
We have many clinical and non-clinical roles to progress through, depending on your passions, skills and abilities. Your first year at The Physio Co is about learning ‘the TPC way’ and to develop the skills needed to become a caring community physio.
By the end of the year, your team leader will sit down with you to discuss future directions in your development. Our physios have branched out into many areas including:
- developing their skills in non-clinical areas such as recruitment, marketing and client support
- developing into team leaders
- developing into coaches
- developing skills in new initiatives at TPC such as online exercise classes
We’re a growing company with big plans and as such, we’re keen to work with our team members to ensure they have plenty of opportunities to progress their career.
The Physio Co’s future
The Physio Co is committed to growing, improving and becoming the best version of itself as a people-focused business. One way we do that is by being brave enough to decide what our future will look like and then working hard to bring that vision to life.
For example: The Physio Co has a big (and scary!) long-term goal that we call our ‘10-Year Obsession’.
That is, over 10 years – from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2028, we will help our senior clients set and achieve 2,028,000 meaningful health goals!
10 Years is a very long time and so the leaders here at The Physio Co create a shorter, 3-year vision (we call it our ‘Painted Picture’) which serves as a stepping stone to achieving our 10-Year Obsession.

Other F.A.Q.S
Just like when working with the general population, there is a large variety in abilities when working with seniors. We focus on what is important to our clients and set our goals around this, whether it’s something they are currently doing that they would like to maintain, or it’s something they are striving for. If it’s important to our clients, it’s important to us! It may seem like a small thing to us, but to our seniors the ability to maintain their independence in toileting or washing their own hair is massive. That being said, we also have some amazing stories in which our seniors have been told they could not walk again and after extensive physio, can walk around their retirement village with their grandchildren. This is what makes working with seniors so rewarding!
If you’d like to gain a better insight into some of the goals our clients have achieved, check out our articles tab to see our seniors in action right here.
Of course! We do require 3 days minimum, but part time is absolutley an option.
Our working days are from 8-5pm, Monday to Friday. No weekends!
