Let's talk about you!

You bring both expertise and empathy to your work, with the confidence to lead, adapt and make informed decisions in complex environments. You value collaboration and continuous growth, and take pride in supporting both your patients and your team to thrive. You're motivated by making a meaningful difference in regional communities and contributing to services that evolve with changing needs.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

• Tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology and current professional certification
• Proven experience delivering high-level care across varied settings and caseloads
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams and stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to lead improvements and apply evidence-based practice

You'll stand out from the crowd if you bring rural or broad generalist experience and/or advanced training or postgraduate study. Most importantly, you're driven to deliver impactful care, support others and contribute to stronger, healthier communities through compassion, integrity and innovation.
