Allied Health & Occupational Therapy Graduate Program
Want to join our new graduate program?
At Ninja Allied Health, we’ve always believed that our work goes beyond simply providing therapy, it’s about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. As the founders of Ninja Allied Health, our mission has always been to offer innovative, client-centred care that truly meets the unique needs of each individual we serve.
We’re particularly passionate about supporting the next generation of occupational therapists. That’s why we’ve developed a 12-month program specifically designed for new graduates like you. This program was created in collaboration with our current new graduates and reflects our own experiences when we were OTs in your position. Our aim is to make your transition from academic life to clinical practice as smooth as possible. We want to help you build the skills, gain the experience, and develop the confidence needed to thrive in your career and find fulfilment in the impact you make each day.
As a future Ninja, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients and conditions, to help you discover your strengths. You’ll be supported by leading occupational therapists with over 50 years of experience between them. We believe that hands-on experience, paired with the right guidance, is the key to becoming a well-rounded and effective therapist.
We’re committed to providing an environment where you can grow, learn, and ultimately, make a difference. We look forward to possibly welcoming you into our team and helping you embark on a rewarding and impactful career in occupational therapy.
Warm regards,
Amelia St Baker

Our Promise
Every new grad program might look the same on paper, offering similar promises. But at Ninja Allied Health, as an OT-owned and operated company, we genuinely understand what it takes to grow in this field. We’re wholeheartedly committed to your clinical development, not just through a piece of paper that says “new grad program,” but with real, ongoing support that extends far beyond.
