Healthcare Australia is seeking a Locum Paediatric Speech Pathologist to provide assessment and therapy for children experiencing communication, speech, language, feeding or swallowing difficulties. Applicants should hold an appropriate Australian speech pathology qualification, current professional registration or eligibility for Speech Pathology Australia membership, and relevant paediatric experience. A valid working visa, professional indemnity insurance, current police and working-with-children checks may be required. The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively with families, educators and multidisciplinary teams, maintain accurate clinical records, develop individualised treatment plans and deliver safe, evidence-based care. Flexibility, strong communication skills, reliability and the ability to adapt quickly to different clinical environments are important for locum assignments.
Healthcare Australia is a national healthcare recruitment and workforce-solutions provider supporting hospitals, health services, aged-care organisations, community providers and other healthcare employers. The company connects qualified professionals, including allied health clinicians, nurses, doctors and support workers, with permanent, temporary and locum opportunities across Australia. Its services may include recruitment, workforce placement, staffing coordination, compliance support and professional workforce management. For clinicians, Healthcare Australia can provide access to varied assignments, flexible work arrangements and opportunities across metropolitan, regional and remote locations. Requirements, pay rates and benefits differ between assignments, so candidates should confirm the specific contract conditions, supervision arrangements, travel support and accommodation provisions directly with the recruiter.
Australia offers strong opportunities for speech pathologists in hospitals, schools, private practices, community health, disability services and regional or remote programs. The culture is generally informal, diverse and outdoors-oriented, with an emphasis on work-life balance. Major cities provide extensive amenities but have higher housing costs; regional areas may offer lower living expenses and greater demand for clinicians. Popular lifestyles include beaches, sport, nature travel and multicultural dining. International professionals usually need an appropriate work visa, such as an employer-sponsored, skilled or temporary visa, and must meet professional registration and qualification requirements. Speech pathologists generally need eligibility for Speech Pathology Australia membership, plus police and working-with-children checks where applicable. Before relocating, arrange registration, health insurance, accommodation, tax and banking, and confirm whether the employer provides travel, housing or relocation assistance.
