APM's allied health graduate program spans six disciplines - each with dedicated pathways, supervision and the chance to make a genuine difference from day one. Select your discipline to explore the role, the work you'll do, and which of our brands are hiring.
Occupational therapist
In occupational therapy, we know the little moments matter. Because every small step leads to the big breakthroughs. As a graduate OT at APM, you'll help people build confidence and independence in their everyday lives - whether that's supporting a child to engage with school, helping someone return to work after an injury, or enabling an older adult to stay in their own home.
You'll work across a range of settings and client groups, building a breadth of clinical experience that most single-employer programs simply can't offer.
As a graduate occupational therapist you might be:
• Completing home assessments and recommending modifications to support independent living
• Designing return-to-work plans for clients recovering from injury or illness
• Assessing sensory processing needs for children and developing therapy programs
• Supporting clients with physical, cognitive, or psychosocial goals across community settings
Our occupational therapy graduates could work at:
Psychologist
Working as a graduate psychologist at APM is much more than individual sessions - it's about being part of meaningful, lasting change. You'll offer insights and guidance to clients navigating life's challenges, supporting personal growth, improved wellbeing, and practical strategies for managing what life throws at them.
From workplace mental health to paediatric assessments, our psychology graduates work across a variety of clinical environments with structured supervision that supports your registration pathway.
As a graduate psychologist you might be:
• Providing individual assessments to clients ranging from vocational assessments in the return to work space or cognitive, developmental or diagnostic assessments with children

• Partnering with multidisciplinary teams on complex client cases

Change starts with a single, powerful moment. At APM, your passion as a graduate rehabilitation counsellor shapes those moments — guiding clients through their recovery journeys so they can rediscover their potential and return to meaningful work and life.
You'll work with clients across corporate, government, and community settings; helping them navigate the psychological, vocational, and practical barriers that stand between them and their goals.
As a graduate rehabilitation counsellor you might be:
• Developing vocational rehabilitation plans for clients following workplace injury or illness
• Coordinating with employers, insurers, and treating practitioners to support return-to-work

Exercise physiologist
As a graduate exercise physiologist, you'll design personalised, evidence-based exercise programs that help clients manage chronic conditions, recover from injury, and work towards their health and function goals. It's clinical, creative, and deeply rewarding work with the science to back every prescription you write.
Our exercise physiology graduates work alongside multidisciplinary teams, building expertise across a variety of client presentations and developing strong clinical reasoning skills early in their careers.
As a graduate exercise physiologist you might be:
• Designing and delivering individualised exercise programs for clients with chronic disease or injury
