Speech Pathologist — Canberra Private Practice | Paediatric Caseload
Established clinic. Genuine mentoring. Room to grow into the parts of the work you love.
About the role
Canberra is one of the easier cities in Australia to build a satisfying speech pathology career in: short commutes, a well-resourced NDIS market, engaged families, and clinics with the runway to invest in their teams properly. This is a private practice role in a well-regarded ACT clinic with a caseload sitting mostly across paediatrics — school-age communication, early language, literacy, articulation, social communication, and AAC where relevant.
About the role:
•
Predominantly paediatric caseload; a small adult mix is available if you want it
•
Blend of clinic-based sessions, school visits and telehealth
•
Realistic caseload set with your clinical lead — not by billable-hour KPI
•
Full admin, scheduling and billing support so your day is clinical work, not paperwork
•
Structured supervision (weekly for new grads, monthly-plus for experienced clinicians)
•
Access to established assessment tools, therapy resources and a shared clinical library
What’s on offer:
•
Salary $80,000–$115,000 + super, benchmarked to experience
•
Annual PD budget plus paid PD leave
•
Laptop, phone, and reimbursed travel between sites
•
Genuine flexibility — 4-day weeks, school-hours arrangements, and hybrid clinic/telehealth setups all on the table
•
A clinical career pathway (senior and lead roles opening as the practice grows)
•
Regular team case discussion, peer supervision and a real social calendar
