Job Description
Speech Pathologist — Canberra Private Practice | Paediatric Caseload
n
Established clinic. Genuine mentoring. Room to grow into the parts of the work you love.
n
Canberra is one of the easier cities in Australia to build a satisfying speech pathology career in: short commutes, a well-resourced NDIS market, engaged families, and clinics with the runway to invest in their teams properly. This is a private practice role in a well-regarded ACT clinic with a caseload sitting mostly across paediatrics — school-age communication, early language, literacy, articulation, social communication, and AAC where relevant.
n
About the role

Predominantly paediatric caseload; a small adult mix is available if you want it

Blend of clinic-based sessions, school visits and telehealth

Realistic caseload set with your clinical lead — not by billable-hour KPI
n
Full admin, scheduling and billing support so your day is clinical work, not paperwork
n
Structured supervision (weekly for new grads, monthly-plus for experienced clinicians)
n
Access to established assessment tools, therapy resources and a shared clinical library

About you
n
n
AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist (CPSP welcome; current graduates supported)

Genuine interest in paediatric work and family-centred practice

About the practice
