FAQ

Quick answers

Caseloads vary by setting. Private practice commonly runs higher patient volumes (often shorter consults), while hospital, rehab and community/NDIS roles may have fewer daily patients with higher complexity and documentation. The key is clarity on session length, daily targets, admin time and report load before you accept.
Not inherently. KPI roles can be excellent when expectations are transparent, achievable, and supported with mentoring and a fair ramp-up period. Problems usually come from unclear targets, revenue-only pressure without support, or unrealistic timeframes.
Common red flags include no clarity on daily consult targets, revenue KPIs without a ramp-up period, no protected admin time, high rebooking pressure, or “supportive team” messaging with no defined supervision structure.
Yes—if the clinic provides structured supervision, reduced/adjusted KPIs, protected learning time, and a clear development plan. Without those, the first role can become unnecessarily stressful and limit growth.
No. Ethical healthcare recruitment should not charge candidates fees for placement. Medfuture does not charge Physiotherapists recruitment fees.
Are regional Physiotherapist jobs worth considering?
It varies. Many Physiotherapists reassess roles every 2–4 years, often triggered by workload, mentorship gaps, progression limits, or lifestyle changes. Your best move is to compare role realities (caseload, KPIs, mentoring, autonomy), not just salary.
