About this role

If you're an adult-focused Speech Pathologist, you already know the market skews heavily paediatric — and that finding a role built around the work you actually trained for can take longer than it should. This is one of those roles.

The work: A caseload built around adult clinical practice — the specifics of setting and location depend on which of our current openings fits you best. Right now Mediix is briefed on adult-focused SP roles across:

  • Acute hospital (dysphagia, stroke, TBI, head and neck cancer, tracheostomy)
  • Sub-acute rehabilitation and stroke units
  • Community rehabilitation and outpatient
  • Aged care (RACF and in-home)
  • Progressive neurological conditions (MND, Parkinson's, dementia care)
  • Adult NDIS and disability
  • Voice, fluency and transgender voice

You tell us which of these you want more of and which you're happy to leave behind — we work from there.

Why clinicians talk to us about adult work:

  • Real caseload variety without being stretched across paeds you didn't sign up for
  • Clinical leads who understand adult acute and rehab (not managers who default to paediatric assumptions)
  • Access to instrumental assessment (VFSS, FEES) in the settings that offer it — and we'll tell you honestly which ones don't
  • Time built in for MDT participation, family education, and the discharge planning work that adult roles actually require
  • Genuine seniority pathways — advanced clinician, team lead, discipline lead

What's on offer: Depends on the role. Broadly:

  • Permanent salaries $80,000–$120,000 + super (graduate through senior/advanced)
  • Part-time, full-time, casual and contract shapes all in play
  • Public health, private practice, aged care and NDIS providers on our desk

About you:

  • AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist
  • Australian work rights
  • Adult clinical experience OR a genuine intention to work adult-only from here
  • Any experience level — graduates who've specifically trained toward adult work, mid-career clinicians looking for the right next step, and senior clinicians ready for a lead role are all on our desk
