Working at a Housing Service Centre (HSC)
Working at a Housing Service Centre, staff deliver frontline services to Queenslanders in housing need.
Through Housing Service Centres across the state, HSC staff are our main contact points with customers and connect them to information, options and support services to meet their housing needs. HSC staff work with customers to develop a plan that empowers them to improve their whole-of-life wellbeing and achieve safe, secure and sustainable housing.
Our work aims to reduce the barriers many Queenslanders face to access safe, secure and affordable housing and helps create pathways for them to achieve housing independence.
Being an Occupational Therapist (OT) in Housing
For an Occupational Therapist, Housing is a great place to work.
OTs in housing support customers with a disability, long-term health condition or who are ageing, to access and sustain suitable housing. Customers are supported to remain independent and safe in their homes.
OTs are based in most Housing Service Centres in Queensland. Whether it’s working with colleagues to find out more about a customer's situation, visiting the home of a tenant to understand their needs or working with local tradespeople to oversee home modifications, every day is different.
As an OT in housing, you can:
- organise your own schedule
- receive professional supervision and development from Senior OTs
- be part of a state-wide OT network
- work with tenants who really appreciate what you do for them
- have flexibility and variety in your day
- be creative and problem solve!
