Director/ Occupational Therapist

Port Macquarie, NSW

I reside in sunny Port Macquarie on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. Despite my location, I offer external supervision services to occupational therapists all across Australia via phone, video-link, and email. I simply love chatting with OTs in all kinds of wild and wonderful places, and inspiring amazing projects. I have enjoyed mentoring numerous OTs in setting up successful private practices. My passion lies in mentoring, teaching, and assisting fellow OTs in achieving their goals. Prior to establishing my own business, I worked as an Associate Lecturer in the Newcastle Department of Rural Health. During this time, I acquired valuable skills in education, learning, and supervision. Recently, I furthered my knowledge by completing the OT Australia supervision course.With over 20 years of experience in rehabilitation, I’ve worked in both rural and metropolitan areas of Australia, as well as in the UK. My expertise spans various client groups, including:Neurological conditions, such as stroke, acquired brain injury (ABI), movement disorders, and multiple sclerosis (MS).Mental health conditions, including major depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.Neurodiversity.Aged care and dementia.Intellectual disability.About me: When not supervising, you will find me chasing my two energetic sons around the soccer field, imersing myself in nature and enjoying my side gig as a pet photographer. Feel free to connect with me for a friendly chat over the phone. I’d be more than happy to answer any further questions and explore whether we’re a good match.

I’m an occupational therapist, educator, and certified organisational coach with a background in clinical, leadership, and strategic roles across the health, disability, and community sectors. In my career to date, I’ve worked across private practice, executive leadership, and governance settings, including roles within the not-for-profit sector and on several national and local advisory groups.I’m the founder of Legacy Allied Health, a values-led business offering occupational therapy services, medicolegal assessment, professional supervision, coaching, and systems consulting for allied health practices. My work is anchored in a strong clinical foundation, with experience in neurological rehabilitation, disability support, chronic disease management, assistive technology, and functional capacity assessment — all of which continue to shape how I approach leadership, mentoring, and service development. I’m a strong believer in the value of clarity, intentionality, and reflective practice as drivers of meaningful and sustainable change.Alongside this, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the design and delivery of several service initiatives, including a low-cost functional assessment model now used in university clinics across South Australia to support people navigating the NDIS access pathway. I now work as an Associate Lecturer at Flinders University, alongside my clinical practice.I value collaboration, integrity, and growth, both personally and professionally. I’m also a proud husband and father, and strongly advocate for self-care and balance as essential foundations for leadership and lifelong learning.A testimonial (available on LinkedIn) from a former colleague and supervisee:Christian is a fantastic occupational therapist and a truly supportive leader. He supported growth in our team and business through hard work and vision. Over a period of several turbulent months, Christian held the team together in his role as acting director and was able to implement new structure and procedures which improved the workplace and services we offer. Christian's leadership style was truly appreciated by the team. His approachable and considerate manner made it easy for staff to feel supported and raise any concerns. His consistency with communication was also followed up with action which created trust and a feeling of value. Our clients frequently commented on the level of support Christian supplied as an OT and I regularly received the highest of feedback about his services. Christian was a highly valued member of our team, and it will be hard for us to replace his knowledge, drive and support."

Senior Occupational Therapist

Uk, WA

Hi there! I have been working as an Occupational Therapist for almost 8 years, with speciality in geriatric and acute care (hospital and community). I have worked in the public settings only, understanding the pressures and barriers to health care with limited resources. My clinical roles have given me opportunity and training to develop my supervision skills to ensure clinicians are supported and given the appropriate guidance. Supervision and clinical leadership are a passion of mine, and by offering 1:1 online sessions tailored specifically to individual needs, we can achieve desired goal directed outcomes. I consider myself empathetic and kind, and wish to create a safe place for the person to feel comfortable to share their challenges, ultimately progressing them to their full potential. I have recently relocated to the UK to try the NHS therefore the availability is afternoon (Australian time) which would be my morning. I look forward to hearing from you and working together!
