Travel Therapy Salary in New Jersey
For a travel PTA on contract in New Jersey, the state issues PT Compact privileges (PT Compact Commission), so a travel PTA licensed in another compact state can work there on a privilege instead of a new New Jersey license.

A travel PTA in New Jersey earns a median of $1,260 per week on current ProTherapy assignments, with individual contracts ranging from $1,260 to $1,960. That median is drawn from 39 open travel PTA assignments in New Jersey as of 2026-10-05.
Medians for the other disciplines with enough New Jersey openings to report one: travel PT $2,130 (from 31 openings); travel COTA $1,260 (from 20 openings); travel OT $2,130 (from 12 openings). Each figure covers only that discipline — travel therapy pay differs enough between PT, PTA, OT, COTA and SLP that a single blended number would not describe any of them.
Too few current New Jersey openings to publish a median for: travel SLP 3 ($2,130–$2,130). Those are advertised ranges across a handful of assignments, not averages.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole New Jersey market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
