Build a career that makes a difference at Play Partners.
We're a practice that values relationships as much as results, who offers flexibility that respects real life. You’ll be joining a team that keeps learning, encourages your growth, supports you to think beyond your own discipline, and sees regional practice as a place of possibility—not limitation.
That's why we do things differently. Instead of spending your first week sitting in meeting rooms and reading policies, we'll pay you to explore the Clare Valley.

Experience flexibility that respects real life.
We offer a range of employment options including full-time, part-time, casual and percentage-of-billings arrangements where appropriate. Telehealth can also be incorporated by agreement. We understand that life changes, careers evolve, families grow and Interests change. Whether you're starting your career, raising a family, returning to practice or simply looking for better balance, we'll work with you to find an arrangement that supports both you and the families we serve.
Work somewhere that genuinely cares about your wellbeing.
Play Partners provides comprehensive Employee Assistance Program access for both employees and their families, wellbeing resources, supportive leadership and a culture built on respect, kindness and open communication. Supporting children can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Looking after the people who care for others isn't an optional extra, It's simply part of who we are.
Experience regional practice at its best.
Regional clinicians work across a wonderfully diverse range of presentations and settings, giving you breadth of experience that often takes much longer to develop in larger metropolitan services. Weekends become opportunities to explore walking trails, wineries, cafés, cycling tracks, sporting clubs and everything the Clare Valley has to offer. Regional practice isn't a compromise. It’s an opportunity to fast track your growth as a clinician. For many, it's the best career decision they ever make.
Learn from people who love helping others grow.
Whether you're a new graduate finding your feet or an experienced practitioner wanting to deepen your expertise, you'll have people around you who are generous with their knowledge and genuinely invested in your learning. Questions are welcomed, ideas are encouraged, learning never stops.
Work with clinicians who think beyond their discipline.
We're a transdisciplinary practice where clinicians learn from one another, collaborate regularly and share knowledge to provide seamless support for children and families. Instead of working in professional silos, you'll develop broader clinical reasoning, become a better problem solver and gain confidence working collaboratively around the needs of every child and family.
Be part of a practice that keeps learning.
Professional curiosity sits at the heart of Play Partners. Professional development is supported through paid study leave, financial assistance and access to significant rural scholarship opportunities. We understand that the real learning begins one you are qualified. If you're someone who loves asking questions, exploring new ideas and continually improving your practice, you'll fit in well here.
Be Trusted To Grow
As your confidence develops, opportunities emerge to supervise students, mentor junior clinicians, lead projects, develop new programs and contribute fresh ideas. We're a locally owned practice where innovation is encouraged and good ideas are welcomed. Whatever your ambitions, we'll help you build a career that reflects your strengths, your interests and the contribution you want to make.
Join People Who Enjoy Working Together
Our team celebrates together, learns together and supports one another through the challenges that come with meaningful work. We share regular team supervision, whole-team meetings, social events and more than a few long lunches exploring the Clare Valley. We are a team that values respect, collaboration and kindness.
