We are looking for a Paediatric Speech Pathologist to join our wonderful team.

Paediatric Speech Pathologist

Picture this… it's 9am and you've just pulled up at the clinic (or maybe a local school), coffee in hand, ready for your first session of the day.

Your first client bursts through the door with more energy than you've had all week (because that's just what kids do).

After your session, it's time to catch up face-to-face with one of your colleagues, a Physiotherapist, or Occupational Therapist to talk through a shared client and plan next steps together.

You're making a real difference in the lives of kids and families in our rural community, building genuine connections in person, one session at a time.

You have a flexible working arrangement. You're in charge of choosing your own hours and days, so there's never any need to ask permission to go to your own kid's school concert. You also have access to unlimited support from a beautiful team of three other Speech Pathologists, plus a wider team of multidisciplinary therapists.
