Paediatric Speech Pathologist – Melbourne

Full‑time or Part‑time | Multiple Clinics | $80,000–$115,000 + super (more for TL)

If you’ve done paeds for a while, you’ve probably seen “low KPI, great culture” ads that still end in reports at 9pm.

I work with a small group of Melbourne paeds clinics that are actually structuring for sustainable workloads, protected admin, real supervision and the coming Thriving Kids changes - not just hoping NDIS stays the same.

Packages:

- Clinician / Senior: $80,000–$115,000 + super (experience and duties dependent)

- Higher for clear Team Lead / Lead Clinician roles.

Current roles (snapshots)

- Inner West / CBD: Structured paeds clinics with set session templates, protected admin blocks, strong MDT and excellent supervision; above‑average salaries.

- North–East: Family/community‑feel service with below‑average KPIs and project work (groups, programs, school/EC partnerships) actively encouraged.

- South–East (Berwick / Narre Warren): Supportive clinic with sustainable KPIs,



ideal for someone ~4th–5th year wanting to start taking on some supervision/mentoring.

There are a few other options around Melbourne as well if these aren’t quite the right fit.

Common threads

Across these clinics I prioritise:
- Protected admin time (notes/planning in your template, not after hours)

- Regular supervision that actually happens, plus internal PD in work time with KPI concessions
- A move away from endless 1:1 NDIS sessions towards groups, programs and partnerships that line up with Thriving Kids.

Who this suits

Paeds Speech Pathologists with:
- At least 1–2 years’ paeds experience (options up into senior/lead).

- An interest in clinic + community work and MDT teams.

- A genuine focus on boundaries and sustainable caseloads.
