Are you an Adelaide-based Speech Pathologist looking for something different from the traditional Monday-to-Friday clinic role?
An established and growing allied health provider is seeking a Speech Pathologist to join its regional service through a flexible Drive-In Drive-Out (DIDO) model from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region.
You'll travel regionally on a fortnightly rotation, concentrating your face-to-face client work into your onsite week before returning home, with flexibility to complete reporting and other responsibilities remotely.
Your accommodation, regional travel and access to a vehicle while onsite are supported, giving you the opportunity to work regionally without permanently relocating.
The Role
You'll join a multidisciplinary allied health team providing community-based Speech Pathology services to an established NDIS caseload.
The caseload includes a robust paediatric component alongside adult participants, with exposure to both straightforward and more complex presentations.
Depending on your experience and clinical interests, your responsibilities may include:
- Speech, language and communication assessments
- Paediatric Speech Pathology services
- Individualised therapy and intervention
- Communication and capacity-building strategies
- Community-based assessments
- NDIS documentation and report writing
- Development of individualised therapy plans
- Working closely with participants, families, carers and other health professionals
There is flexibility to structure your caseload around your clinical strengths and areas of interest.
A Different Way to Structure Your Fortnight
This role offers a genuinely different working model for clinicians who value autonomy and flexibility.
You'll drive from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region once per fortnight and complete the majority of your face-to-face appointments while onsite.
Rather than being locked into a traditional Monday-to-Friday structure, clinicians have flexibility around how they manage their hours across the fortnight.
Some clinicians prefer to maximise their client-facing hours while onsite, while others balance their onsite appointments with reporting and documentation completed remotely once they return home.
You'll be trusted to manage your own diary while meeting agreed clinical and productivity expectations.
What's On Offer?
- $110,000–$120,000 + super, depending on experience and progression
- Fortnightly DIDO model from Adelaide
- Regional travel expenses covered
- Accommodation provided during your onsite rotation
- Access to a vehicle while onsite
- Work-from-home flexibility between rotations

- Established NDIS caseload
- Mix of paediatric and adult participants
- Exposure to complex and non-complex presentations
- Multidisciplinary allied health team
- Supportive and growing organisation
- Opportunity for ongoing salary progression
- Streamlined interview process
About You To be considered, you will have:
- A recognised qualification in Speech Pathology
- Eligibility for Speech Pathology Australia membership / Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status
- Current driver's licence
- Strong clinical communication and report-writing skills
- Confidence managing your own diary and caseload
- Ability and willingness to travel between Adelaide and regional South Australia on a fortnightly basis
Previous experience within NDIS, community or paediatric Speech Pathology would be advantageous; however, we're open to speaking with Speech Pathologists from a range of clinical backgrounds.
