Speech Pathologist Paediatric Caseload

If youre 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 and theyve built the kind of role local clinicians tend to stay in.

The practice sees children across the developmental span early language school-age communication literacy articulation social communication feeding and AAC where relevant with referrals from paediatricians GPs schools and NDIS coordinators across the metro area.

• 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)

Why this role if youre 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. If youve been in a role where the workload has crept the caseload has drifted from what you signed up for or the supervision has quietly stopped happening this is worth a conversation.
