About the role

You'll assess, diagnose and provide individualised, evidence-informed therapy for children with a range of communication needs.

You'll be a great fit if you

Hold (or are about to complete) a Speech Pathology degree and are eligible for Speech Pathology Australia membership

Love working with children, especially neurodivergent children and those with complex communication needs

Care about families as much as therapy goals

Are curious, reflective, collaborative and happy to speak up when something isn't right

Bring some fun to work. We take children and families seriously. Ourselves? Slightly less so

Extras:
