Why Join National 360 as a Graduate?

At National 360, we understand that transitioning from university to the workforce is a significant milestone. We are committed to supporting Graduates to commence full-time or part-time work through our tailored Graduate Program, 360 GO.

360 GO is designed specifically for those with less than 12 months’ experience who are passionate about working in a community setting. As a National 360 Graduate, you’ll be employed on a permanent basis and take part in 12 months of learning during your first year with us.

The program combines formal and informal learning opportunities, including observational sessions, joint appointments, team activities and events, and both direct and indirect client work. We offer Graduate employment for the following disciplines:

  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech Pathology
  • Physiotherapy

When selecting our Graduate Cohort, we look for clinicians who bring different perspectives, attitudes and qualities in-line with our diversity and inclusion strategy. We welcome applications from people of any socioeconomic status, age, race, national origin or ethnicity, people with disabilities and people who identify with the  LGBTQIA+ community. 

The 360 GO program will build and strengthen your generalist clinical skills, and our unique intake assessment process, allocations process and supervision structure enable us to tailor your caseload and professional development according to of your areas of clinical interest. Want to specialise in one area? Then 360 GO is for you!

At National 360, we offer unparalleled flexibility for all therapists. Set your own schedule based on your working style and personal commitments. Choose to work from home or from an office location as you wish, and flexibly manage your working hours to prioritise your wellbeing and optimise work/life balance.

National 360's Graduate Program combines structured learning, regular supervision and supportive leadership. Having access to experienced clinicians and managers who have successfully supported graduates before made the transition from university to practice feel achievable and rewarding.

360 GO - A True 12 Month Program

360 GO has been designed by clinical and educational experts, incorporating valuable insights from previous Graduates. Our aim is to provide a nurturing, encouraging, and highly personalised journey through four key phases:

Month 1
Months 1-3
Months 4-6
Months 7-12
Simulated Practice
Simulated Practice offers a safe and supportive environment to build your confidence before working with real clients. In this phase, you’ll complete self-directed learning modules that guide you through each component of your role—from initial assessment to documentation and service delivery. You’ll work with a mock client file, giving you the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge, practise clinical processes, and develop core skills in a realistic but low-pressure setting.
Experiential Discovery
The most effective way to grow as a therapist is through hands-on experience. In this phase, spanning Weeks 2 to 12, you’ll begin working with your own caseload, applying clinical skills in real-world settings, and connecting new learnings to your existing knowledge base. You’ll start by participating in observational and joint appointments alongside your Clinical Supervisor and multidisciplinary team members. As your confidence grows, you’ll begin conducting sessions independently, with ongoing clinical supervision and support to guide you through each stage of service delivery.
Theoretical Learning
Strengthen your theoretical foundation with interactive and immersive workshops facilitated by our subject matter experts across Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Physiotherapy, Positive Behaviour Support and Early Childhood disciplines. Workshop topics include more complex and in-depth study of diagnoses, assessments, therapy interventions, report writing and specialty areas. Build on your foundational NDIS knowledge, finding the rhythm of delivering community-based therapy and managing a full caseload.
Individualised Development
As a 360 GO Graduate you will have a caseload and professional development trajectory designed collaboratively between yourself, your Line Manager, and your Clinical Supervisor. In the last six months of your Graduate year, you will map your preferred pathway, setting goals related to internal and external learning & development opportunities.

Supervision and Support

We are well known for providing the most comprehensive supervision & support in the industry, complemented by ancillary learning opportunities to coach and develop the best allied health professionals in Australia. The support you receive as a 360 GO Graduate and early career therapist includes:

  • Observational sessions  – For the first five weeks of 360 GO, you will have the opportunity to complete a half day of observation with an experienced therapist every single week. This will enable you to not only observe client appointments, but the pre and post-appointment processes as well. You will observe experienced therapists from your own discipline, and to ensure a true multidisciplinary experience, you’ll also observe experienced therapists from other streams to gain a holistic understanding of community allied health.

  • Joint appointments – you will conduct your initial client sessions alongside your Clinical Supervisor, who will provide you with real-time support and feedback. Joint appointments support you to feel confident and competent in delivering therapy in the community setting prior, to independently managing your own client appointments.
  • Self-directed learning – our online library has been developed over many years by our Clinical Practice Advisors and National Clinical Leads, covering every topic you can think of! Your Clinical Supervisor and Team Leader will guide you on the best learnings relevant to your interests, skills, experience level and caseload. You can access these learnings at any time and complete them at a pace that suits you.
  • 2 hours of weekly clinical supervision – meet with your supervisor 1:1 each week to discuss your caseload, attend group supervision to engage in peer learning, and receive behind-the-scenes support to review your reports & therapy plans.
  • Line Manager Support– Your Line Manager will help you develop your caseload management skills, support your understanding of organisational procedures, set achievable personalised goals, and help you manage your wellbeing and work/life balance.
  • Unlimited clinical mentoring – our Clinical Practice Advisors are subject-matter specialists who host over a dozen mentoring sessions each week. Our CPAs share their knowledge through educational presentations, Q&A sessions, and providing 1:1 clinical consultations for the national team. You will also have the opportunity to be co-allocated alongside one of our subject-matter specialists, to support complex cases and support your specialisation and development.
