Want the freedom to choose your own hours, make a real difference, and feel genuinely valued? You’ve found your place.

At Path Allied Health, we believe therapy is about more than just assessments and reports-it’s about connection, building confidence, and helping people live more independently.

We’re on the lookout for an experienced and compassionate Speech Pathologist (5+ years’ experience) to join our growing start-up as a contractor supporting our amazing NDIS community.

We currently offer physiotherapy across Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs, and we’re expanding our services to include Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy - so it’s a fantastic time to jump on board and grow with us!

You’ll be working from home, planning your own schedule, and visiting participants in the community when needed. With a mixed caseload, no two days will be the same - and that’s part of what makes the role so rewarding.

Why Join Path Allied Health?

• A focus on expertise & a compassionate approach – Join a team that values clinical excellence and genuinely cares about the people we support.
• Above-average industry pay that truly values your expertise. We pay superannuation on top of your hourly rate.
• Your work, your way – Full flexibility to shape your caseload and hours around your lifestyle.
• A small, supportive team that likes to have fun- Collaboration is key, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously!
• Real impact – Our participants appreciate thoughtful, quality care - and they feel the difference.
• Career progression opportunities – We’re just getting started, so watch this space… growth and leadership opportunities are on the horizon!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting a diverse mix of participants with communication and/or swallowing challenges
• Conducting comprehensive, participant-led assessments, both remotely and in-person
• Applying your expertise to diagnose and manage swallowing and communication disorders, understanding their broader impact on health and wellbeing
• Creating and delivering individualised, evidence-based therapy plans
• Writing clear and thorough NDIS reports that support funding requests
• Working closely with families, support coordinators and other allied health professionals as part of a collaborative care team
• Taking charge of your own caseload and schedule-flexibility is built in
• Staying committed to your own learning and development, because you love growing too
• Communicating with kindness, clarity, and professionalism—whether in person or in writing

What You’ll Need:

• A degree in Speech Pathology
• Certified Practicing membership with Speech Pathology Australia
• 5+ years of clinical experience, ideally including work with NDIS participants
• A genuine love for supporting others and building lasting connections
• A solid understanding of the NDIS and how to support participants within the scheme
• A current Australian driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle
• A National Police Check
• A Working with Children Check
• NDIS Worker Screening and completion of the NDIS Orientation Module
• An ABN (Australian Business Number) for billing purposes
