Whether you're supporting someone through recovery or helping a team refine its approach, you take pride in making a meaningful difference every day. You bring compassion, integrity and curiosity to your work, and you're motivated by the impact you can have in a regional community.

- Tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology with current professional accreditation
- Ability to deliver safe, effective care and manage a diverse clinical workload
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to multidisciplinary care
