Speech Pathologist | Adults

If you're an adult-focused Speech Pathologist, you already know the market skews heavily paediatric — and that finding a role built around the work you actually trained for can take longer than it should. This is one of those roles.

The work: A caseload built around adult clinical practice — the specifics of setting and location depend on which of our current openings fits you best. Right now Mediix is briefed on adult-focused SP roles across:

Acute hospital (dysphagia, stroke, TBI, head and neck cancer, tracheostomy)Sub-acute rehabilitation and stroke unitsCommunity rehabilitation and outpatientAged care (RACF and in-home)Progressive neurological conditions (MND, Parkinson's, dementia care)Adult NDIS and disabilityVoice, fluency and transgender voice

You tell us which of these you want more of and which you're happy to leave behind — we work from there.
