What You Can Expect
We’re looking for a clinically driven Upper Extremities Clinical Support Representative to support surgeons, theatre teams and healthcare professionals across Far North Queensland.

You may come from an established orthopaedic or medical device clinical support background, or you may be an Allied Health professional (such as a Physiotherapist) with strong upper limb anatomy knowledge who is ready to transition into the medical device space.
What matters most is your clinical credibility, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering outstanding support in high-pressure environments.
