Graduate Speech Pathologist | Gold Coast
Start your career somewhere you'll actually be supported
At Top Therapy, we want new graduate Speech Pathologists to develop into confident, capable clinicians without being overwhelmed by unrealistic caseloads or KPIs.
You'll be backed by regular supervision, practical support and a team you can actually reach when you need help.
Top Therapy is a small but growing, family-run business dedicated to helping children and adults achieve their communication and swallowing goals.
The role
You'll work with a varied caseload across the Gold Coast, providing functional, person-centred speech pathology supports in clients' homes, schools, community settings and via telehealth.
Depending on your interests, your caseload may include:
Speech and language
AAC
Social communication
Aphasia and acquired communication disorders
Progressive neurological conditions
Dysarthria and motor speech disorders
Dysphagia and mealtime management
Capacity building with families, carers and support teams
Your week will include assessment, therapy, report writing, resource development, collaboration with other professionals and working closely with clients and their support networks.
Our graduate support
Graduates need more than someone saying, "message me if you need anything."
You'll receive structured support including:
Regular 1:1 clinical supervision
A structured onboarding and induction period - take your time to learn and build your caseload!
A gradually increasing caseload
Dedicated time for learning,



resource development and clinical preparation
Support with NDIS documentation, report writing and clinical reasoning
Joint sessions and opportunities to observe experienced clinicians
Access to internal and external professional development
Support to develop your own clinical interests and areas of expertise
Flexibility without being left on your own
Community work should give you flexibility, not chaos.
You'll have autonomy to organise your diary around your clients and your life, with a combination of:
Community visits
Working from home
Telehealth
Once your client commitments and required work are completed, we don't believe in keeping you busy just for the sake of it.
We want you to have the flexibility to make the role work around your life, rather than having your life revolve around work.
A realistic caseload
We care about the quality of your clinical work, not how many appointments can be squeezed into a day.
Your caseload will build gradually as your confidence and experience develop.
Expectations will be transparent from the beginning and adjusted appropriately during your graduate year.
