About Physiotherapy Jobs in Perth

Physiotherapy jobs in Perth span public hospitals, private practice, sports and musculoskeletal clinics, NDIS and disability services, aged care and home-based rehabilitation. WA Health is the largest single employer, with physiotherapy departments at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital and Perth Children's Hospital, and the WA Country Health Service recruits physios for hospitals across the regions.

To work as a physiotherapist you need registration with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia through AHPRA, and "physiotherapist" is a protected title. Perth has accredited programs at Curtin University, The University of Notre Dame Australia and UWA, and graduates apply for general registration once they finish. Unlike pharmacy, there is no intern year. Overseas-trained physiotherapists generally go through the Australian Physiotherapy Council's assessment before they can register and practise in WA.

Public hospital physios are graded on WA Health's P-scale. Level P1 roles have been advertised from roughly $85,000 to $120,000 a year across the increments, and senior P2 roles from about $117,000 to $130,000, depending on the agreement year. The legal floor for private employers is the Health Professionals and Support Services Award 2020, which third-party pay guides put at about $34.44 an hour for a first-year Level 1 physiotherapist from October 2026. Private practice pay often combines a base rate with a share of billings, so caseload, appointment fees and whether you treat sports, workers' compensation or NDIS clients all shift what you take home.

Outside the hospitals, NDIS and disability providers such as Rocky Bay and Therapy Focus employ physios for clinic, school and home visits across the metro area, Mandurah and the South West. Private groups like Lifecare run clinics in suburbs including Applecross, Willetton, Wembley and Ocean Reef. Private hospitals add inpatient and rehabilitation roles, including Hollywood Private Hospital, Joondalup Health Campus and St John of God hospitals in Murdoch and Subiaco.
