Job description

Mediix is partnering with an established multidisciplinary private practice in Melbourne's northern suburbs to appoint a Speech Pathologist to their growing team. What sets this role apart: you choose the caseload that suits you. Whether you want to build a paediatric caseload, focus on adults, or work across both, the practice will shape the role around your clinical strengths and the areas you want to grow into.

This is a fully clinic-based position — no driving between schools or client homes, no community travel — with a warm, collegial team of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists and allied health support staff working out of a modern, purpose-designed clinic.

About The Role

You'll build your own caseload from the practice's steady referral base. Depending on your preference, that might look like:

• Paediatrics — early language delay, ASD, DLD, articulation and phonology, fluency, AAC, school-age literacy and social communication
• Adults — acquired communication disorders, voice, fluency, cognitive-communication and dysphagia
• Mixed — a genuine blend across ages, if variety is what you're after

Day to day, you will:

• Complete comprehensive assessments and formulate clear clinical impressions
• Develop individualised, evidence-based therapy plans
• Deliver 1:1 sessions in clinic, with group work where clinically indicated
• Collaborate closely with the in-house MDT on shared clients
• Partner with families, carers and support workers through coaching and education
• Maintain clinical documentation and complete NDIS, Medicare and DVA reporting as required
• Contribute to team case reviews, in-house PD and peer discussion

What Our Client Offers

• Above-award remuneration, negotiable on experience
• Generous CPD budget, paid study leave and in-house learning sessions
• Structured clinical supervision — genuine mentoring for early-career SPs, and peer support for senior clinicians
• A caseload built around your clinical interests, not simply handed to you
• Fully clinic-based work — predictable hours, no travel time between clients
• Admin, intake and NDIS billing support so your day stays clinical
• Real flexibility — 0.6-1.0 FTE, compressed weeks and school-hours arrangements all considered
• Modern, well-resourced clinic with a full assessment and therapy library
• Employee Assistance Program and a low-turnover, supportive team culture
• Easy access by car and public transport, with on-site parking

About You

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Speech Pathology
• New graduates with strong placement experience are warmly encouraged to apply — structured new-grad support is in place
• Experienced SPs seeking a stable, well-run practice equally welcome
• Strong clinical reasoning, documentation and interpersonal skills
• Working with Children Check (VIC) and NDIS Worker Screening
• Current Victorian driver's licence preferred
