Chatterbox Australia Therapy Services – Bundoora VIC
Paediatric Speech Pathologist – Full Time – Bundoora
$90,000-$110,000 (depending on experience)
CHATS (Children's Health and Therapy Services) isn't your traditional paediatric therapy clinic.
We're known for unique, therapy-informed services and a pathways-based model that supports children, teens and young adults (6 months-25 years) to build real-world skills for participation, confidence and independence.
If you're a Speech Pathologist with at least 1 year of experience who wants work that's warm, practical, neuro-affirming - and genuinely enjoyable day-to-day - you'll fit right in.
We're a boutique, multidisciplinary children's therapy and health centre in Bundoora, Melbourne.
We're growing, with exciting projects across **** and **** - and we're looking for a Speech Pathologist who wants to grow with us.
Why CHATS (Our Point Of Difference)
Neuro-affirming, strengths-based practice (evidence-based, family-centred, difference-not-deficit)
Multiple ways to build your career: 1:1 therapy, groups, school collaboration, program development, and optional outreach/telehealth pathways
Career pathways that keep your work fresh: opportunities to rotate into different CHATS services and programs over time, so you can keep learning, stay motivated, and build the career you actually want
Build long-term relationships with families: follow children and young people across their journey and see the real-world impact of your work as they move through CHATS pathways
Excellent retention (many team members 5+ years)
A team that communicates well and supports each other
Our Facility (New + Custom Renovation)
Purpose-built spaces to support real participation and real progress:
Consulting suites on one side
Education suite on the other, including:
classroom with sensory/wet area
art room
indoor playground + gym
two outdoor play areas




We're currently expanding our outdoor play spaces to support all age groups - combining gross motor equipment with imaginative play zones (a genuinely exciting project if you love functional, real-world therapy)
A Unique Early Years Opportunity
We're also a registered Playgroup Victoria provider, running a weekly playgroup for children aged 18 months to 5 years - a great opportunity if you enjoy early years, play-based support, and family coaching.
The Role
You'll provide Speech Pathology services across a paediatric caseload, with support to shape your niche (early language, school-aged language/literacy, social communication, teens, parent coaching, and school/kinder collaboration).
You'll also have opportunities to contribute to:
therapy-informed group programs (supported by Allied Health Assistants in groups)
new projects and service development across *********
optional regional/outreach and telehealth pathways (based on your interest and capacity)
Flexibility That Works In Real Life
Flexible schedules available
Working from home is an option (where it suits your role and caseload)
Reception support so you can focus on clinical work
Career development That's Actually Personalised
We're committed to PD - including financial support - but more importantly, we'll help you choose PD that matches where you want your career to go and what you want to specialise in.
Plus:
In-house training every Wednesday
Team connection built in: daily 1pm lunch break/catch-up
