Speech Pathologist - Contractor

Contract Speech Pathologist (Community/Mobile)Capstone Allied Health | Berwick VIC | Contractor
We believe great therapy starts with great clinicians.
At Capstone Allied Health, we believe the best therapy happens when clinicians are trusted to think critically, work independently and use their professional judgement… not simply meet KPIs or appointment targets.

We work predominantly with NDIS participants across the lifespan, supporting children and adults in their homes, schools, kindergartens and community settings.
