You have the fundamentals.
This is where you build real clinical depth.
Every week, you will have one hour of clinical mentoring built around our structured clinical education curriculum, plus a 30 minute one-to-one check-in. That is 90 minutes of protected time with an experienced clinician, every week, scheduled in advance.
What your first year looks like
One hour of clinical mentoring each week
Built around our structured clinical education curriculum, so your development follows a plan rather than whatever came up that week.
A 30 minute one-to-one check-in each week
Time to step back and make sure you are focusing on the right skills and the right qualities, not simply getting through the diary.
Seven experienced clinicians alongside you, and always a sounding board
You are joining an established team, not filling a gap in one. Whether you want a second opinion on a clinical decision, a creative idea for a session, a resource suggestion, or someone to help you script and rehearse a difficult conversation with a family before you have it, there is always someone to ask.
Scheduled administration time
Your notes, reports and planning time are in the calendar. They are part of your week, not something you take home.
A caseload matched to your experience
We set your caseload against where you are in your career, and review it as you grow.
A professional development budget, plus up to five days of PD leave each year
Funded time to learn, and the leave to use it.
"Working across paeds and adults has stretched me more than I expected. I've taken on clients I wouldn't have felt ready for a few years ago, and there's always been someone alongside me while I worked it out."
"We wrote our values down years ago, but the real test is what happens on a hard day. I still see clients every week, partly so that I never lose sight of that."
Two clinics. One team. Plenty of people to learn from.
We are hiring a Speech Pathologist, based at our Kurri Kurri clinic, with at least one day each week at Cooks Hill.
That Cooks Hill day is one of the best parts of this role
It means you work alongside every member of our team, build relationships across both clinics, and learn from clinicians with a real range of strengths.
A caseload with genuine variety
You will work across paediatric and adult clients, in clinic and in community settings. Enough variety to build real skill, with enough structure that you always know your next step.
Full time or part time, and we will build it around you
Tell us what suits and we will do our best to make it work.
An easy run from across the Hunter
Kurri Kurri is in the Hunter Valley, around 40 minutes from Newcastle and a short drive from Maitland, Cessnock and Lake Macquarie.
More of what you can expect

Systems and service models built over 14 years
