In this episode we chat with Greta who is an early career occupational therapist who is travelling and working as a locum OT around some of Australia's most beautiful holiday destinations including Hervey Bay, QLD.
We talk about new graduate perspectives, being adaptable and of course... locums – having completed approximately 7 between us! We talk about how to get the best locum as a new graduate / early career OT/PT/SLP and the huge work availability waiting for those willing to travel!
