Speech Pathologist - Private Practice - Adults

Most adult-focused Speech Pathology work in Australia sits inside the public hospital system. Most private practice work is paediatric. And most Territory roles don't come up often enough to plan a career around. This role is the exception on all three counts.

About the role: An established Darwin private practice is looking for a Speech Pathologist to build and lead an adult caseload on a permanent basis. Referrals come from GPs, specialists, aged care providers, NDIS coordinators and self-referring clients — the caseload is genuine, varied, and yours to shape.

• Adult clinical work across post-stroke communication, cognitive-communication, voice, dysphagia (screening and community-level management), progressive neurological conditions, and adult NDIS
• Mix of clinic-based sessions, in-home visits, aged care outreach and telehealth
• Autonomy to develop the caseload in the direction of your clinical interests — voice, MND/Parkinson's, adult AAC, cognitive rehab
• Realistic caseload agreed with the clinical lead — not driven by billable-hour targets
• Full admin, scheduling and billing support so your day stays clinical
• Structured supervision, peer case discussion and a genuine PD culture
• Close working relationships with local geriatricians, neurologists and rehab physicians for cross-referral
