Job description

At AAA, our mission is simple: support NDIS participants aged 0–65 to achieve the goals that matter most to them. As one of Australia’s national providers of therapy services, we’re committed to delivering high‑quality, person‑centred support that genuinely makes a difference.

Job Description

Melbourne Speech Pathologists – We Hear You! (…and we’d love you on our team)

If you’re a Speech Pathologist with 2+ years of experience and you’re looking for a role that truly speaks your language, this could be the perfect fit.

Whether you call Caroline Springs, Bundoora or Dandenong home (or somewhere in between), Ability Action Australia has a spot ready for someone who knows their way around a good goal, a tricky communication aid, and a well‑timed visual schedule.

What We’re Offering

• Starting salary from $100,000 (based on experience)
• KM travel reimbursement
• Relocation allowance *interstate*
• Up to $1,500 external PD allowance each year
• Performance incentives
• Laptop, smartphone & clinical toolkit
• Hybrid flexibility: home, clinic or café
• Professional indemnity insurance
• Salary packaging options
• Weekly supervision + mentoring
• A supportive MDT crew who won’t leave you hanging mid‑sentence

Who We’re Looking For

• Feel confident clinically but still love learning
• Are collaborative, kind and can handle the occasional communication breakdown
• Want genuine flexibility and a team that won’t “ghost” them
• Love a good market, café, hike… or just an uninterrupted lunch break
• Bonus points if you love a good SP pun — we don’t discriminate… unless it’s auditory.
