As a Speech Pathologist, you'll play an important role in supporting patients and families across the hospital and broader community. From delivering person-centred clinical care to collaborating with colleagues, your work will help improve quality of life and health outcomes for people across the region.
Every day, you'll contribute by:

You value teamwork, act with integrity, and take pride in delivering care that respects dignity while embracing innovation. Your impact is felt not just in outcomes, but in the trust you build and the confidence you help restore.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
- A recognised qualification in speech pathology with current professional registration
- Contemporary clinical skills, with the ability to apply evidence-based practice confidently
- Strong communication and collaboration skills within multidisciplinary environments
- A commitment to ongoing learning, quality improvement, and compassionate care
You'll stand out if you have experience in regional or hospital settings and/or postgraduate study or additional clinical training.
Above all, you'll bring compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage to everything you do, helping shape care that truly matters.
