- Professional development – 10 days paid PD leave, CPD allowance, and leadership pathways.
- Lifestyle extras – 5 weeks annual leave, birthday leave, recognition bonus, flight home (for Mount Isa/Longreach), and flexible options including part-time or FIFO.
What you’ll be doing
No two days are the same! You’ll:
- Assess, treat and manage a diverse caseload across all ages and presentations
- Provide therapy for speech, language and swallowing disorders
- Support children and families with early intervention strategies
- Collaborate with a friendly, multidisciplinary team who’ve come from all over Australia
What you’ll need
- Eligibility for Speech Pathology Australia membership
- A passion for making a difference in regional communities
- QLD Blue Card & NDIS Worker Screening (or willingness to obtain)
- Current Driver’s Licence + full Australian work rights
Life in North Queensland
