Meet Liam.
Year 12, Melbourne.

Liam came in not knowing what he wanted — only that he was good with people, liked being active outdoors, and didn't see himself behind a desk. Find My Journey built a picture from what he told us.

Career matches

Four matches.
Built around who he is.

Two roles he can pursue right now, and two longer-term career paths. Each one matched to his specific profile — not a generic list.

Youth Support Worker
💵 Start now

Youth support workers provide practical and emotional support to young people experiencing difficulty — in schools, community centres, and residential care settings. Entry-level roles typically involve assisting more senior workers and building relationships with clients over time.

Why Liam: "You described yourself as someone people come to when things get hard. That's not a personality quirk — it's a professional asset in this field. Your calm under pressure and genuine care for others are exactly what clients and teams in youth support need from day one."
Starting salary
$52,000 – $60,000
Experienced
$68,000 – $82,000
Outlook
↗ Growing strongly
How to get there
1
Complete your Cert III in Individual Support or Community Services — most RTOs have intakes within 6 weeks
2
Apply for a support worker role at organisations like Anglicare, Uniting, or local council youth services
3
After 12–18 months, explore your Cert IV or Diploma to move into case coordination
4
3–5 years: senior support worker or team leader, $70k–$85k
Conservation and Land Management Worker
💵 Start now

Conservation workers maintain and restore natural environments — parks, reserves, coastal areas and waterways. Roles include hands-on physical work, wildlife monitoring, community education and working alongside Indigenous land management groups.

Why Liam: "You chose outdoors and nature environments consistently — but also helping others and building things. Conservation work delivers all three: you're physically active, contributing to something meaningful, and often working in small close-knit teams. The sector is growing in Victoria with significant government investment in land restoration programs."
Starting salary
$50,000 – $58,000
Experienced
$65,000 – $78,000
Outlook
↗ Growing
How to get there
1

2

3
Cert III or IV unlocks ranger and senior field officer pathways
4
3–5 years: land management officer or environmental educator, $72k–$85k
Occupational Therapist
🚀 Career path

Occupational therapists help people of all ages overcome barriers to daily living — after illness, injury, disability or mental health challenges. They work in hospitals, schools, community health, disability services and private practice.

Why Liam: "Your combination of genuine care for people, calm temperament, practical problem-solving orientation and strong preference for meaningful work is a near-perfect match for OT. This is a field that specifically values people who are steady under pressure and good at building trust. The degree takes four years but the career is exceptionally stable, varied, and growing."
Starting salary
$65,000 – $75,000
Experienced
$85,000 – $110,000
Outlook
↗ Growing strongly
How to get there
1
ATAR-based entry to Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at Monash, La Trobe, Deakin or ACU — or graduate entry after an allied health bachelor

Year 2–3 clinical placements in hospitals, community health and schools
3
Graduate OT role — hospital, NDIS provider or school-based
4
5–8 years: specialist OT or private practice, $95k–$130k+

🩺
Occupational Therapist
Allied Health · AHPRA registered · 4-year degree

Occupational therapists work at the intersection of health, function and everyday life. Their job is to understand what matters to a person and help them do it — after illness, injury, disability or mental health challenges. No two days, and no two clients, are the same.

A day in the life
8:30amReview three client files, prepare for home visit and school consult
9:30amHome visit: assess kitchen safety for elderly client post-stroke, recommend equipment modifications
11:00amSchool visit: support Year 4 student with sensory processing, consult with classroom teacher
1:00pmTeam meeting: case reviews with physio and social worker, discharge planning
2:30pmOutpatient clinic: hand therapy session, adaptive equipment assessment for new client
4:00pmReport writing, NDIS documentation, return family phone calls before end of day
What OTs actually do
OTs don't just work with elderly or disabled people — though that's a big part. They also work with children with developmental delays, people recovering from mental health episodes, workers returning after injury, and anyone whose ability to participate in daily life has been disrupted.

The job is part clinical, part problem-solving, part relationship-building. You need to understand the person's life — their home, their work, what they love — to design meaningful interventions.
Salary & conditions
$65,000 – $75,000 entry


Public sector: EBA-protected, predictable hours, strong super, good leave

Private practice: Higher earning potential, $90k–$130k for experienced practitioners

NDIS: High demand, flexibility, some OTs bill $180–$220/hr as sole traders

Workforce shortage means strong negotiating position for graduates in 2025–2028.
Why this suits Liam specifically
Liam's top value is meaningful work — OTs consistently rate among the highest of all health professions for job meaning and satisfaction.

His calm, patient temperament is a direct clinical asset — clients in distress respond to OTs who are steady and unhurried.

His preference for working one-on-one rather than in groups aligns perfectly with how most OT practice works.

His discomfort with high-criticism environments is protected in OT — the culture is collaborative, not competitive.
How to get there — Liam's specific pathway
1
Year 12 (now): Focus on Biology and Psychology for ATAR entry. Monash OT requires approximately 75–80 ATAR. La Trobe and Deakin have alternative pathways for lower ATARs.
2
This year: Volunteer or do work experience at an aged care facility, disability service or children's therapy clinic. Direct client contact strengthens any application and confirms the path feels right.
3
Year 1–2 of degree: Strong grounding in anatomy, health science and theory. Clinical placements begin in Year 2 — this is where most students know they've made the right choice.
4
Year 3–4: Specialist placements — Liam should pursue paediatric and community health placements given his profile. These lead directly to graduate offers.
5
Graduate year: Most new OTs start in hospital or community health at $65k–$72k. After 2 years, private practice and NDIS become viable — average income rises sharply.
