About the role
Make a real impact in a role that’s steady, structured and genuinely meaningful.
If you’re someone who’s confident using computers, values clear routines, predictable workdays and gets satisfaction from keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes - this could be a great fit for you!
As a Rehabilitation Support Officer, you’ll support the rehabilitation journey of injured ADF personnel by keeping documentation accurate, organised and up to date. Your consistency and attention to detail will help ensure people get the support they need.
You’ll start training in our Meeanjin (Brisbane CBD) office while your Defence security clearance is processed.

Your day will be structured and steady, with tasks including:
· Entering, updating and managing information in internal systems
· Uploading documents into a health record platform
· Coordinating case management paperwork
· Maintaining accurate medical record details
· Producing simple, regular reports
Once on base, your work will be supported and guided by an APS Regional Rehabilitation Manager.

We’ll give you a thorough induction and all the tools you need to feel confident in your role — including laptop and mobile phone.
You’ll also enjoy:

· Paid parental leave
· Mental health and wellbeing support
