Testimonials

I love working with everyone at my ESA clinic. Everyone helps each other and looks out for each other. I love how we all find time to talk to each other, celebrating our success stories and throwing ideas around when we are stuck. We learn from everyone and it’s a great environment!

Jessica

Occupational Therapist

I love working for ESA as I feel there is a real sense of community and team spirit. At our clinic we have great team building events and are encouraged to share our opinion and offer ideas on other events we could get involved in, or workshops we could hold that would best cater to our client base and the direction in which we would like our business to grow.

Lauren

Administrative Assistant

I genuinely enjoy coming to work each day. I particularly look forward to our team meetings each fortnight where we get to spend time together as a team, reflecting on our successes, sharing stories, and enjoying yummy food! I am extremely proud of our team. Each and every person is truly dedicated and passionate about their work. I am frequently inspired by my team and am constantly learning and growing in my own clinical and professional skills as a result. I can’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else!

Nicole

Practice principal & Senior occupational therapist

I consider my particular clinic as my family and I love everyone in my team. We are all very supportive of each other’s roles and we will always lend a hand when able to. We have amazing support from our head office, clinically and administratively, and they are always ensuring that we have the right tools and processes to make our jobs just that little bit easier.
