    Calling all Speech Pathologists - Tired of fitting your life around work? Let's build a role that works for both!

    At Eat. Speak. Repeat., we know great therapy happens when clinicians are supported, valued, and given the flexibility to work in a way that is sustainable. That's why we've created a role that prioritises autonomy, work-life balance, meaningful clinical work, and genuine career growth.

    Whether you thrive in the clinic, enjoy being out in the community, or want a combination of both, we'll work with you to create a schedule and caseload that aligns with your strengths, interests, and lifestyle.

    You'll be joining a neurodiversity-affirming, culturally safe, Aboriginal-owned allied health practice that values relationships over billables, quality over quantity, and people over productivity targets. We believe clinicians do their best work when they have manageable workloads, strong supervision, dedicated administrative support, and the freedom to focus on what matters most—supporting clients and families.

    If you're looking for a workplace where your ideas are welcomed, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your career can grow alongside a supportive team, we'd love to meet you.

    Why Join Us?

    • True hybrid flexibility if you want it – let's design your mix of clinic and community work
    • Flexible hours – work anywhere from 1 to 5 days per week
    • No overbooking – quality care always comes first
    • Full admin + AHA support – so you can focus on therapy, not paperwork
    • Clear career progression – step into supervision and mentoring when and if you're ready
    • Above award salary + PD support – because your growth matters

    About The Role

    Your week may include:

    • Clinic-based sessions
    • Community visits (e.g. preschools, schools, or client homes within your LGA)
    • Assessment, therapy, and report writing across a mixed caseload (infants to adults)
    • Group sessions across the lifespan

    We'll work with you to create a schedule and caseload that suits your preferences and strengths.

    What Support Looks Like

    You'll be set up to do your job well from day one:

    • Dedicated therapy room and laptop
    • iPad for AAC and therapy-based apps
    • "Go pack" with therapy resources for community work
    • Access to a work car or travel reimbursement
    • Full admin support for scheduling and coordination
    • Assistance from Allied Health Assistants (AHAs)

    Career Growth and Progression

    • Supervise students or junior clinicians
