The Queensland Academy of Sport’s mission is to inspire extraordinary sporting success. We recently brought this mission to life when 191 Queensland athletes proudly wore green and gold while representing Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Paris 2024 will go down in history as Australia’s best Games, setting the bar high for the next Olympic and Paralympic cycle.  The QAS is now on a mission to deliver more medals across more sports at the Los Angeles 2028 Games, in anticipation of hosting Australia’s most successful Games in Queensland in 2032.

The QAS supports more than 500 elite athletes on their sporting journey from talented juniors to Olympians, Paralympians and World Champions. Our expert staff support athletes through in-house programs, partnerships with State and National Sporting Organisations, and individualised support for athletes on medal-winning trajectories to help them perform when it matters most.

Our ambitious high-performance strategy for the 2032 Games is to create more medal-winning moments for Queensland athletes that inspire their state and nation. While this strategy defines our goals, our organisation’s culture is what will help us achieve them. Therefore, the QAS is looking for highly talented and motivated individuals whose values and behaviours align with ours, to join our QAS Team.

This role will suit an experienced Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist. Based in Brisbane, this role requires the provision of Physiotherapy support to athletes in the national program as well as to categorised podium, developing and emerging athletes in the QAS Cycling program. Work will be conducted from both QSAC and Chandler facilities. You will also be responsible for developing strategies to support exceptional high performance outcomes. Travel in the role to support events both nationally and internationally is expected.
