About the job
Launceston sits in a sweet spot most Australian cities can't offer — a genuine regional lifestyle with the clinical depth of a proper city practice behind it. This is a permanent role with an established Launceston private practice for a Speech Pathologist to join a settled, well-supported team.
About the role: General private-practice caseload with flexibility on where you focus — the practice sees both paediatric and adult clients and will shape the mix around your clinical interests. Paediatric work spans early language, school-age, literacy, articulation, AAC and feeding; adult work covers post-stroke communication, voice, cognitive-communication and adult NDIS.
- Permanent full-time or part-time (4-day weeks and school-hours arrangements welcome)
- Clinic-based sessions with some community, school and telehealth work
- Realistic caseload agreed with your clinical lead — not driven by billable-hour targets
- Full admin, scheduling and billing support so your day stays clinical
- Structured supervision, peer case discussion and a genuine PD culture
- Access to a strong local MDT network (paediatricians, OTs, psychologists) for cross-referral and joint care
What's on offer:
- Salary $80,000–$115,000 + super , benchmarked to experience
- Relocation support for interstate candidates
- Annual PD budget and paid PD leave
- Laptop, phone, and reimbursed travel between sites
- A clinical career pathway (senior, lead and specialty roles as the practice grows)
- A team that stays — low turnover and leadership who genuinely invest in their clinicians
About you:
- AHPRA registration as a Speech Pathologist (new graduates through senior clinicians all considered)
- Australian work rights
- Interest in general private practice — comfortable across assessment and intervention
- A current Tasmanian Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) registration , or willingness to obtain
- An interest in Launceston as a place to actually live, not just work
Why Launceston: Launceston runs at a pace most mainland clinicians forget is possible. The commute is measured in minutes, not lanes of traffic. Cataract Gorge is a fifteen-minute walk from the city centre, the Tamar Valley wine region is on your doorstep, and Cradle Mountain is a comfortable weekend drive away. The food scene punches well above the city's size — Harvest Market on Saturdays, a serious cafe culture, and some of the best regional restaurants in the country. Property remains genuinely affordable, direct flights to Melbourne and Sydney keep you connected when you want to be, and the city itself has the cultural depth (heritage architecture, QVMAG, the annual Junction Arts Festival, MONA FOMA in January) to keep the "what did I give up?" question well and truly answered.
