0 live rolesWhat low vision occupational therapy involves
Low vision OT focuses on what a person can still see and do, rather than on the level of vision loss alone. Clinicians assess functional vision in the home, workplace, and community, then recommend lighting, contrast, magnification, task adaptation, and assistive technology. Daily living skills, reading, cooking, medication management, and safe mobility are common goals.
The work is highly collaborative. OTs partner with orthoptists, ophthalmologists, orientation and mobility specialists, rehabilitation counsellors, and vision support organisations. Many roles include home visits, equipment trials, and training for family members or support workers, so clear communication matters as much as technical knowledge.
Low vision OT pay and where the roles are
Low vision OT salaries typically range from about $80,000 to $110,000, depending on experience and sector. The main employers are vision support organisations, hospitals, aged care providers, and community rehabilitation services, with some private practice and NDIS work. Salary packaging and paid professional development are common in the not-for-profit sector.
Because the specialty is small, roles can be geographically spread. Some services cover a whole region with a mix of clinic, home, and telehealth appointments; others are based in a single hospital or rehabilitation centre. Ask about travel expectations, equipment budgets, and how assessments are scheduled across a large area.
Training and career pathways
Most low vision OTs learn on the job, supported by mentoring from experienced clinicians and short courses in low vision rehabilitation, assistive technology, and environmental modification. Skills in dementia care, falls prevention, and complex equipment prescription are valuable because low vision often coexists with other conditions.
The specialty offers a clear path into senior clinical, education, and service-development roles, and it is a strong complement to aged care or neuro experience. Browse current low vision vacancies below or set an alert for new roles.
