Speech Pathologist

Speech Pathologist – Flexible Role | Parramatta (Current) + Western Sydney Expansion

$95,000 – $115,000 (pro-rata) + Salary Packaging | Part-time to Full-time

Join a Multidisciplinary Team Driving Real Outcomes

Ability Advocates is entering a major growth phase across Western Sydney.

We are currently based in Parramatta, with new offices opening in Blacktown (July) and Liverpool (October), and are expanding our allied health team to meet growing demand.

We are seeking an experienced Speech Pathologist who wants more than a standard clinic-based role — someone interested in delivering meaningful outcomes across therapy, independence, and real-world participation.

Flexible permanent roles available from 1 day per week through to full-time.

The Model

This is not a high-volume therapy role.

You will work within a multidisciplinary, outcome-focused environment integrating:

• Speech Pathology
• Occupational Therapy
• Psychology
• Employment and community programs
• Behaviour support pathways

We are intentionally structured to focus on:

• Functional communication in real-life settings
• Participation across home, community and workplace
• Long-term outcomes — not session-based throughput

Your Role

You will:

• Conduct assessments and deliver therapy across diverse presentations
• Work across Parramatta (current site) with opportunities in Blacktown and Liverpool
• Deliver services across clinic, community and (where appropriate) workplace settings
• Provide support across:
• speech, language and communication
• social communication and pragmatic skills
• AAC and functional communication supports
• Work with children, young people and adults (based on your preference)
• Contribute to outcome-based planning aligned to NDIS goals
• Collaborate closely with OTs, Psychologists and allied health assistants
• Support real-world outcomes including independence, inclusion and employment participation

What Sets This Role Apart

Flexible permanent employment model – 1 day/week to full-time

Salary Aligned To Experience (pro-rata)

• $95,000 – $115,000 + superannuation Established Parramatta base + Western Sydney expansion Varied caseload – not limited to repetitive paediatric therapy True multidisciplinary model – integrated, not siloed Focus on real outcomes – beyond the therapy room Strong admin support – no chasing bookings or billing Opportunities to contribute to program development and innovation Leadership pathways – senior clinician and team lead roles

About You

You are:

• A qualified Speech Pathologist (SPA eligible or registered)
• Experienced in disability, NDIS or community-based settings
• Confident in assessment, intervention and clinical reasoning
• Comfortable working across home, community and team-based environments
• Interested in delivering meaningful, functional outcomes
• Open to multidisciplinary collaboration

Desirable

• Experience with AAC and complex communication needs
• Experience in neurodiversity, autism or psychosocial disability
• NDIS reporting and plan review experience
• Interest in working across life stages (not just paediatrics)
• Interest in program development or innovation
