Sunrise Therapy is a small, values-driven occupational therapy practice supporting adults and young adults across the Northern Beaches and North Shore regions of Sydney.

Our approach is functional, person-centred and grounded in meaningful occupational performance.

You will have the opportunity to shape your caseload, choose your hours, and work in a supportive, burnout-aware practice.
