> Mediix · Canberra, Australia · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-27

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Speech Therapy

## Description

### Speech Pathologist — Canberra Private Practice | Paediatric Caseload

**Established clinic. Genuine mentoring. Room to grow into the parts of the work you love.**

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

**About you:**

-   AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist (CPSP welcome; new graduates supported)
-   Australian work rights
-   Genuine interest in paediatric work and family-centred practice
-   Comfortable across assessment and intervention; interest in a specialty area (feeding, AAC, literacy, autism support) is a plus but not required

**About the practice:** Boutique, allied-health-led, with a stable clinical team and a reputation for keeping their clinicians long-term. Modern rooms, sensory-friendly setup, and a leadership team that has built the practice the way clinicians actually want to work in one. Full details shared once we've had a first conversation.
