Approximately25 hours of direct clinical work
Approximately5–10 hours of indirect billable work, including reports, assessments, planning, parent consultation, school liaison and resource development

The opportunity to influence the service
You will not be stepping into a rigid corporate model.
Your ideas, experience and clinical judgment will help shape how our Speech Pathology service grows.
