What people say about our New Grad Program
DST have provided me with a supportive environment and also an amazing work culture that is second-to-none!
Charlotte
2022 Speech Pathologist New Graduate
"Down South Therapy (DST) has been a great environment to work as a New Graduate Physiotherapist interested in disability. I have had the opportunity to meet a diverse group of adults and children and have worked with them, their families and support teams towards individual goals. Meeting and getting to know the people and their families in all sorts of places (pools, parks, schools, homes and more) is one of the best things about the job.
I would highly recommend the DST new grad program to everyone who wants to make a difference and have a great time doing so! 🙂 "
Mollie
2022 Physiotherapy New Graduate
"The level of support at DST is endless, including regular meetings with your supervisor, mentor, and case share group. DST allows for you to gain so much knowledge from a range of experiences/specialties, and opportunities to share your own knowledge and experiences."

2020 Occupational Therapy New Graduate
(2022 SPIRITED person of the year!)
"Down South Therapy has given me the invaluable opportunity to grow and evolve as an Occupational Therapist. The staff at Down South Therapy are welcoming and passionate about helping fellow workers for the benefit of each other, and the families we work with. Not only have I had the opportunity to learn from experienced occupational therapists, but I have also had the chance to be supported and learn from other disciplines such as physiotherapy, speech therapy and psychology."

"From one-on-one mentoring and supervision to group case sharing, Down South Therapy provided me with just the right amount of informal and formal support. I feel comfortable approaching any member of the friendly team for guidance or assistance whenever I need it, which I find to be the most advantageous in helping with making timely decisions and changes to ensure best practice."
