About the Role
We're looking for an
Early Career Speech Pathologist
to join our Port Pirie team.
You'll work across home, school, community and telehealth settings, generally supporting participants within around 30 minutes of Port Pirie, with clients clustered in surrounding areas wherever possible.
Our caseload is predominantly paediatric and youth (around 75%), with a smaller adult component, giving you the opportunity to build your skills across a diverse NDIS caseload.
You'll be part of a small local team alongside OT and Behaviour Support, while also being connected to clinicians and clinical expertise across our wider South Australian and national Avina network.
Regional Doesn't Mean Working Alone Working regionally can give you greater variety, strong community connections and plenty of opportunity to develop clinically - but that doesn't mean you're expected to figure everything out by yourself.
You'll have regular supervision, weekly team connection and access to clinicians across Avina's wider SA and national network for clinical questions, case discussions and peer support.
We also have clinicians who regularly travel into regional locations through DIDO/FIFO arrangements, creating additional opportunities for face-to-face shadowing, mentoring and knowledge sharing.
Depending on team and business needs,



there may also be opportunities for you to participate in DIDO/FIFO support across regional SA, with travel and accommodation covered by Avina.

DIDO/FIFO opportunities, with travel and accommodation covered where applicable
What You'll Bring
Bachelor or Master of Speech Pathology
Speech Pathology Australia membership, with CPSP preferred or in progress
A collaborative, curious and person-centred approach
Strong communication and organisational skills
NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working With Children Check, or willingness to obtain
Driver's licence and reliable vehicle for community work
If you're looking for the opportunity to build your clinical skills, become part of a regional community and still have a strong network of clinicians behind you, we'd love to hear from you.
