About the role
If you’re an adult-focused Speech Pathologist, you already know the market skews heavily paediatric — and that finding a role built around the work you actually trained for can take longer than it should. This is one of those roles.
The work: A caseload built around adult clinical practice — the specifics of setting and location depend on which of our current openings fits you best. Right now Mediix is briefed on adult-focused SP roles across:
•
Acute hospital (dysphagia, stroke, TBI, head and neck cancer, tracheostomy)
•
Sub-acute rehabilitation and stroke units
•
Community rehabilitation and outpatient
•
Aged care (RACF and in-home)
•
Progressive neurological conditions (MND, Parkinson’s, dementia care)
•
Adult NDIS and disability
•
Voice, fluency and transgender voice
You tell us which of these you want more of and which you’re happy to leave behind — we work from there.
Why clinicians talk to us about adult work:
•
Real caseload variety without being stretched across paeds you didn’t sign up for
•
Clinical leads who understand adult acute and rehab (not managers who default to paediatric assumptions)
•
Access to instrumental assessment (VFSS, FEES) in the settings that offer it — and we’ll tell you honestly which ones don’t
•
Time built in for MDT participation, family education, and the discharge planning work that adult roles actually require
•
Genuine seniority pathways — advanced clinician, team lead, discipline lead
What’s on offer: Depends on the role. Broadly:
•
Permanent salaries $80,000–$120,000 + super (graduate through senior/advanced)
•
Part-time, full-time, casual and contract shapes all in play
•
Public health, private practice, aged care and NDIS providers on our desk
About you:
•
AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist
•
Australian work rights
•
Adult clinical experience OR a genuine intention to work adult-only from here
•
Any experience level — graduates who’ve specifically trained toward adult work, mid-career clinicians looking for the right next step, and senior clinicians ready for a lead role are all on our desk
