If you enjoy the kind of work where progress is measured in small, meaningful moments—first words written, first time tying shoelaces, first day settling into school - this role is built around exactly that.
n
This Canberra-based paediatric clinic has a strong reputation with local families and schools, largely because of its consistent, relationship-focused approach. It's not a high-turnover environment - both clinicians and families tend to stay.
n
What You'll Be Doing
n
You'll step into an established paediatric caseload, working with children across early intervention and school-aged support. Presentations include developmental delays, sensory processing, emotional regulation and functional skill development.
n
Sessions are a mix of clinic-based therapy and community work (schools, homes), depending on what's most beneficial for the child.
