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
