Speech Pathologist - Mixed Caseload - Paeds to Aged Care - Multidisciplinary

We are a supportive and collaborative multidisciplinary practice bringing together Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Early Childhood Practitioners to deliver high-quality, client-centred care. Our shared goal is to empower people of all ages to achieve greater independence, participation, and quality of life.

Unlike many larger organisations, our practice is led by a Speech Pathologist who understands the realities of clinical practice and regional service delivery. Our director is actively involved in the day-to-day running of the clinic, providing accessible leadership, supervision, and genuine support—so you'll never feel like you're reporting to a manager who is disconnected from the work you do.

We provide services to children and adults, supporting people with and without disabilities. Our clients access our services through a range of funding streams, including NDIS, Support at Home (Aged Care), and private referrals. This diverse client base provides variety in your caseload while offering greater stability and security for our team.

Our experienced administration team takes care of bookings, invoicing, service agreements, and the majority of administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on what you do best—providing outstanding clinical care rather than navigating paperwork.

As a regional practice, we are passionate about improving access to allied health services. In addition to our clinic-based appointments, we provide outreach services to surrounding rural and regional communities, helping people access therapy who might otherwise miss out. A business vehicle is available for some outreach visits, or a travel allowance is provided.

We are committed to helping our clinicians thrive. Regular supervision and mentoring are built into your schedule, with dedicated one-on-one support from our director or a senior clinician, speech pathology team meetings for case discussions and shared learning, and quarterly multidisciplinary team meetings. You'll also have access to external professional development opportunities throughout the year, ensuring you continue to grow in your career while feeling supported every step of the way.
