About Mediix

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.

Responsibilities

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

Requirements

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.

Benefits

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
