Graduate Speech Pathologist - Paediatrics (Springfield & Raceview)

Start your speech pathology career with a clear plan — not guesswork

Finishing your speech pathology degree this year? Your first year shapes the clinician you become. So we've built a structured new graduate pathway that shows you exactly how you'll grow — clinically, professionally and in confidence.

This isn't a "figure it out as you go" role. It's a supported transition into paediatric practice, with the right people around you and a genuine investment in you finding your feet. At Access to Therapy, everything we do ladders up to three words — access, empathy and hope — for children and families across the greater Ipswich, Springfield and Logan region.

Two clinics, one team:

you'll work across our Raceview (Ipswich) and Springfield clinics.

Our structured new graduate plan

From day one, you'll follow a clear pathway built to grow your confidence steadily:

- A gradual caseload build — we ease you in rather than throwing you in the deep end

- Strong clinic bases at Raceview and Springfield, supporting close collaboration with local schools and early childhood centres

- Joint sessions and shadowing with experienced clinicians

- Clear clinical frameworks to guide your sessions, so you're never guessing

- Regular one-to-one supervision, plus protected time to plan and write reports

- A competitive $90,000 total remuneration package (including super and a $1,500 professional development allowance)

Your team — this is the difference

You won't be working in isolation.



You'll be surrounded and supported every day by an experienced, multidisciplinary team:

- In-clinic support from Speech Pathologists at both clinics

- Supervision from Alexis Taylor (Senior Speech Pathologist)

- Clinical leadership from Dr Victoria Sandham (Clinical Lead & Speech Pathologist, PhD)

- Multidisciplinary support from our Early Childhood Intervention and Occupational Therapy team

- Onsite leadership and operational support from Callum Trevorrow (Physiotherapist & Director) & Megen Cunningham (Raceview Site Lead & Senior Speech Pathologist)

That means you're learning alongside experienced clinicians across disciplines — every single day.

What this role looks like

- A paediatric caseload, focused on communication development and functional, everyday outcomes

- Working across our Raceview and/or Springfield clinics, plus schools, kindergartens and early childhood settings

- Partnering with families and educators to support each child where they are

- Evidence-based, family-centred practice with the support to keep learning

Why this role stands out

What we're looking for

- Graduating in Speech Pathology at the end of 2026 (or a recent graduate) ready to start work in early 2027.

- Eligibility for practising membership with Speech Pathology Australia (CPSP) for 2027

- A genuine interest in paediatrics and early intervention

- A warm, family-first approach and a willingness to learn as part of a team

- A current driver's licence

- A Working with Children Check (Queensland Blue Card) and NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, or eligibility to obtain them

What you'll get

- $90,000 total remuneration package, including superannuation and a $1,500 CPD allowance (38 hours per week)

- A structured new graduate support program with strong supervision and mentoring

- A $1,500 professional development (CPD) allowance
