Paediatric Speech Pathologist – 2+ Years Experience
A note from us
We're a growing paediatric clinic in Mount Waverley, and we're building it with real intention. We know clinician burnout is real, and a lot of it comes down to things that are actually fixable: not enough breathing room in the day, too much time on the road, and not enough connection with the people you work alongside.
So that's what we've focused on. Most of our work happens in the clinic, so your energy goes into meaningful clinical work, not traffic.
Our practice is strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed. We value cultural and linguistic diversity, work with families from a wide range of backgrounds, and recognise how culture shapes communication, learning and family life.
About the role
We're looking for an experienced paediatric speech pathologist to join us permanently (subject to probation). Part-time at least 3 days per week, or full-time preferred. Full-time includes half a day per week working from home.
Key responsibilities
Manage a paediatric caseload (preschool to secondary) across speech, language, literacy, stuttering, autism and neurodivergent support, and AAC
Conduct assessments and deliver evidence-based intervention
Develop and implement individualised therapy plans
Work mainly from our clinic, with short local visits to schools, kinders and the community
Maintain accurate clinical documentation in line with professional standards
Collaborate with families, educators and allied health professionals
Why join us?
A varied caseload of private and self-/plan-managed NDIS clients, with flexibility to develop the clinical areas that interest you
Short, local travel. Most of your week is in the clinic, and community, school and kinder visits are close by, typically under 15 minutes each way
Hybrid flexibility.



Full-time clinicians get half a day per week working from home for reports, planning and admin
Wellbeing that's built in. Balanced caseloads with protected time for documentation, preparation and PD, so you're not catching up after hours
Interdisciplinary work. An in-house OT, plus collaboration with local paediatricians on autism assessments
A team that actually connects. Regular catch-ups, shared lunches and a genuine open-door culture
Room to grow. Regular case discussion with a senior speech pathologist, the chance to mentor our current-graduate clinician, and pathways into supervision, leadership or a specialist interest
An unbeatable location. A short walk from Mount Waverley station, in the middle of the village with cafes and food on your doorstep
Remuneration: $90,000–$120,000 pro rata + super, depending on experience, plus a performance bonus and a $2,000 annual PD allowance
About you
Minimum 2–3 years' paediatric speech pathology experience
Confident running your own caseload, from assessment through to reporting and intervention
Organised, with strong written communication and time management skills
Curious and compassionate, and you value teamwork as much as independence
Committed to neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based practice
Essential requirements
Certified Practising Member of Speech Pathology Australia (or eligible)
Working with Children Check (Employee), NDIS Worker Screening Check and National Police Check (current, or willing to obtain)
Current Victorian driver's licence
Full Australian working rights
Overseas-qualified applicants must hold recognised qualifications and be eligible for SPA membership at the time of application.
If you're looking for a workplace where clinical quality, genuine team connection and your own wellbeing are all taken seriously, we'd love to hear from you.
