Services
People with hypermobility and dysautonomia are often handed a generic strengthening program, told to push through, and left worse than they started. Physiotherapy is frequently where that goes wrong — and, when it's done with the whole picture in view, where it finally goes right.
biio. was built for patients with complex invisible illness — hypermobility, dysautonomia, MCAS, chronic pain and fatigue, and the presentations that travel with them. In two years we've cared for more than 4,000 people across more than 17,000 consults and grown to a team of more than 50. We're now opening a Melbourne clinic in July/August — our first east-coast site, with Sydney and Brisbane to follow.
We're looking for a physiotherapist to join it onsite in Collingwood, with these presentations as the caseload rather than the occasional complex case. Integrative practitioners are welcome, and a musculoskeletal background is genuinely valued — what matters most is wanting to work with this population and reason through it alongside other disciplines.
You won't carry these patients alone. You'll work within a multidisciplinary team — nurse practitioners, exercise physiology, dietetics, psychology and our medical consultants — that treats your assessment as part of one shared clinical picture, not a report filed in isolation. Before each session, the relevant picture is already assembled in biio.graphy: correspondence, prior assessments, validated tools and history, so you arrive ready to work rather than rebuilding the file. biio.graphy organises the information; you decide your assessment and clinical plan.
This is also a place to develop, and we've made that concrete. You'll have individual supervision and peer supervision built into how you work, a fortnightly 90-minute physiotherapy team training and PD session, and a monthly cross-disciplinary PD where the wider team learns from each other's expertise. Practitioners who show they can carry more are progressed faster.
Integrated care breaks down the moment someone stops listening, so we hire for the opposite. The people who do well here are low-ego and high-EQ: they ask before they assume and they treat another discipline's read on a patient as something to learn from rather than defend against. Humility, openness and inclusivity aren't slogans here — they're the conditions that let a multidisciplinary team reason as one.
This will suit you if you're curious about how conditions cluster across body systems, you'd rather reason through a hard case with colleagues than on your own, and you want your own development taken seriously. It's less suited to someone after a high-volume, single-session musculoskeletal list.
The role is onsite in Melbourne, in Collingwood, with flexible arrangements: start from one or two days a week and build up to full-time as your caseload allows. The clinicians who help open Melbourne will shape how the service develops.
