If you're an Adelaide-based paediatric Speech Pathologist thinking about your next move, this is worth a read. An established Adelaide private practice is looking for a Speech Pathologist to join their paediatric team on a permanent basis.
About the role:
- Predominantly paediatric caseload, with room to include a small adult or adolescent mix if that interests you.
- The practice sees children across the developmental span — early language, school-age communication, literacy, articulation, social communication, feeding, and AAC where relevant.
- Blend of clinic-based sessions, school visits, in-home therapy and telehealth.
- Realistic caseload set with your clinical lead — not driven by billable-hour KPI.
- Full admin, scheduling and billing support so your day stays clinical.
- Structured supervision (weekly for new grads and early-career clinicians; monthly-plus for experienced SPs).
- Access to established assessment tools, therapy resources and a shared clinical library.
- Well-developed local MDT referrer network — paediatricians, OTs, psychologists, dietitians and schools.
What's on offer:
- Salary $80,000–$120,000 + super, benchmarked to experience (graduates through senior clinicians all considered).
- 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, lead and specialty roles as the practice grows).
- Regular team case discussion, peer supervision and a real social calendar.
Why this role, if you're already in Adelaide: The Adelaide paediatric SP market is small enough that most clinicians know most clinics by reputation. This one has a genuinely low turnover rate, a clinical lead who invests time in supervision rather than just billing hours, and admin infrastructure that means your day is clinical work — not chasing referrals, rebooking clients or wrestling with NDIS plan management.
About you:
- AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist (CPSP welcome; new graduates supported).
- 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.
- A current DHS Working with Children Check (WWCC) for South Australia.
- NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain).
