We are seeking a Speech Pathologist to join our growing team in a flexible community-based role. The position primarily involves supporting children with developmental and communication needs, with some adult participants requiring communication or swallowing support.

Our clinicians work collaboratively within a transdisciplinary model alongside nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, educators and Allied Health Assistants, allowing therapy programs to be supported across participants’ everyday environments.

• Develop therapy plans and collaborate with Allied Health Assistants who support program implementation between clinician sessions
• Prepare clear clinical reports including progress summaries and NDIS review documentation
• Participate in multidisciplinary discussions and case planning with other clinicians

This is a community-based position involving visits to homes, schools, childcare centres and other community settings.

The role offers a primarily paediatric caseload with some adult participants, providing a varied and meaningful scope of practice.
