New graduates and early-career speech pathologists are very welcome to apply

Looking for somewhere you can genuinely enjoy being a Speechie?

At Little Minds Grow, we truly believe you should be able to do great therapy, grow your clinical skills and still have a life outside of work.

That means having the time to focus on your clients, colleagues you can bounce ideas off, resources ready when you need them, and a workplace where you're supported rather than constantly worrying about billable hours.

We're a small, growing paediatric speech pathology practice on the northern Gold Coast, and we're looking for another wonderful Speechie to join our team

We're also opening a brand-new clinic in Helensvale just off the high way in January 2027, sharing the space with an occupational therapy team. It's an exciting new chapter for us, and we'd love for someone to be part of it.

Here’s what working with us actually looks like:

Flexibility that makes your working week easier

We offer a combination of clinic-based and mobile therapy, and we're happy to work with you to find a schedule that suits your circumstances.

This might mean dedicated clinic days, grouping mobile appointments by location, or adjusting your schedule to reduce unnecessary time on the road.

We aim to keep travel within working hours, consider where you live when allocating mobile clients, and reimburse work-related kilometres.

We want you spending more time doing what you love and less time sitting in traffic

Real clinical support, especially when you're finding your feet





Whether you're fresh out of university or have a few years of experience, we want you to feel confident asking questions, discussing tricky cases and learning from the people around you. You will have access to as much or as little supervision as you need, especially if you are a new graduate.

We typically work across speech, language, literacy, AAC and social communication areas. If there's an area that you're particularly passionate about, we'd love to hear about it.

A brand-new clinic and a team to share it with

Our new Helensvale clinic will give us a dedicated paediatric space to work, collaborate and connect.

You'll have speech pathology colleagues to share ideas with and the opportunity to work alongside OTs, learn from different perspectives and collaborate on supporting children and their families.

We're a close-knit team of 5, making up 2 speech pathologists, 2 therapy assistants, and 1 great administration support officer. We are a team that genuinely values spending time together, sharing knowledge and celebrating each other's successes.

Resources, equipment and admin support? We've got you.

We don't want you spending your evenings making therapy resources from scratch.

You'll receive your own laptop, iPad, iPhone, therapy bag and uniforms, plus access to an extensive collection of organised, ready-to-use therapy resources.





Think laminated materials ready to grab, digital resources, standardised assessments, informal screeners and established programs such as Story Champs and We Thinkers, and Sounds Write (if you’re trained, if not we will make sure you get trained).

You'll also have access to an Allied Health Assistant who can help with resource preparation as needed, as well as soon to be full time administration support to make your working week easier.

Let's talk about KPIs. Yes, we're actually going to tell you

We know that billable targets can be a source of stress in private practice, especially when expectations aren't transparent before you start. So, here's how we approach them…

If you're anew graduate:

- Your target isto work toward 20 billable hours per week, including any eligible travel time, throughout your first year.
- We want you to have time to build your clinical confidence, develop your skills, access supervision and settle into your role.

If you're anearly-careerorexperienced Speechie:

- Your target is25 billable hours per week, including any eligible travel time.

Each employee’s targets are set in these ranges and agreed upon prior to you commencing your role.

We believe KPIs are important for running a sustainable private practice, but they shouldn't be something you're constantly worrying about as the employee.

Our job is to manage the business, provide appropriate support, and help you maintain a manageable workload. Your job is to focus on your clients, your clinical development, and being a great therapist.

And if you want to earn more? You can
