Speech Pathologist

Are you looking to work in a collaborative, transdisciplinary team with onsite mentoring? We have an opportunity for a part-time Speech Language Pathologist to join our team.

About Us

Therapies For Kids is a place where both children and staff are supported to reach their full potential. We have physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, music therapists and exercise physiologists all working as part of a transdisciplinary team. We have three clinics, two in Sydney’s Inner West and one in the beautiful Riverina. It’s the diversity of clients we see that makes us truly unique, including children with cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delay as well as typically developing children. We see children aged 0-18. Our families love our tailored services that address what they actually want to achieve rather than working to a formula.
