Are you a speech pathology or occupational therapy student looking for some real-world experience? Are you loving learning, but want to get more hands-on? Did your paediatric placement end way too soon? Do you want to find out how a private practice really operates before you graduate? Munchkin Allied Health is seeking an Allied Health Assistant to join our multidisciplinary team. Part-time and casual roles available.

About us:

Munchkin Allied Health is a small allied health clinic providing Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services to Melbourne's northern suburbs. We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of four speech pathologists, an occupational therapist, two allied health assistants, and an administrative assistant. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, inclusive, and supportive attitudes. Our team genuinely likes to spend time with each other, so we have quarterly team outings and regular team lunches.

We believe that children and families work best when they feel safe and supported. We aim to provide evidence-based neuroaffirmative therapy that promotes and celebrates neurodiversity.

At Munchkin, we know supporting families starts with supporting our staff, so we provide regular supervision, detailed session plans and plenty of time to ask questions. We love working with OT and speech pathology students, and we’re proud of the support we offer. Don’t just take our word for it—half of our current team started here as students! We'd love to hear from you if you're looking for a place where you’ll be supported, valued, and given room to grow.
