Job Description

Join a Queensland-based allied health provider that’s expanded into the NT and help build the Speech Pathology service in Darwin. This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced Speech Pathologist ready to step into leadership - with your client-facing load reducing as you grow and support the local Speech Pathology team.

Key Highlights:
  • Salary: $100,000 – $120,000 + super
  • Relocation: Access up to $7,000 support
  • Flexibility: Flexible start/finish times + WFH for admin (option to work a 9-day fortnight or condensed week)
  • Caseload tailored to you: NDIS, Aged Care, Medicare and private clients (across the lifespan)
  • Clinic base available: Central space for team connection, optional admin, and client appointments
You’ll work alongside a thriving team of 5 Occupational Therapists, backed by a supportive management team and strong clinical support from the National Clinical Lead Speech Pathologist! 

Why You’ll Love This Role:
  • A real step into leadership: Start 100% client-facing, then transition into more leadership as you onboard and supervise new team members
  • Build something meaningful: Autonomy to help establish the Speech Pathology arm of the practice in Darwin, including purchasing physical resources for the clinic
  • Varied, interest-led work: Mix of funding streams and client presentations, with your caseload shaped to your preferred area
  • Transparent expectations: 69% billable target (e.g. 5.25 hours per 7.6-hour day) with a ramp-up period, and adjusted expectations as your supervision responsibilities increase
Support Available:
  • Fortnightly clinical supervision with the Clinical Lead Speech Pathologist
  • Ongoing clinical support from the Sunshine Coast Speech Pathology team
  • Structured onboarding: Gradual caseload increase and work shadowing opportunities
  • Professional development: $1,000 PD allowance + 3 days PD leave
  • Admin triage of clients with work-life balance front of mind
Extra Perks:
  • Travel reimbursed: 99c per km (paid each pay)
  • Bonus structure: 15% of charge-out rate + an additional $30 per extra hour when exceeding targets
  • Tech provided: iPad or work laptop
  • Team culture: Paid lunch once a week with your team
Your Role:
  • Provide Speech Pathology services across the lifespan (tailored caseload to your scope and interests)
  • Support clients funded by NDIS, Aged Care, Medicare and private streams
  • Contribute to growing the Speech Pathology team in Darwin, including supervision as new clinicians are onboarded (built into your workload)
Requirements:
  • Minimum 4 Years Post Graduate Experience 
  • Tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology
  • SPA membership
  • Unrestricted working rights in Australia 
  • Drivers license and own vehicle
