Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy Opportunities
Join our team at Specialist Medical Services Group and Kids’ Dr, where we are seeking a motivated Speech Pathologist or Occupational Therapist to work alongside our dedicated Kids’ Dr team, including three paediatricians, within a well-established multidisciplinary medical group.
In this role, you will support children and adults across a range of developmental and functional presentations, delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.
You will benefit from strong internal referral pathways from GPs, paediatricians, and our broader specialist network, allowing you to build a consistent and growing caseload.
This is an opportunity to work within a collaborative, supportive environment while making a meaningful impact in the community.
If you are passionate about helping others and value team-based care, we would love to hear from you.

Join a collaborative paediatric team at SMSG - Kids' Dr
Step into a role where you are never the only speech pathologist / occupational therapist in the room – and never “just another” allied health provider. At Specialist Medical Services Group (SMSG), you’ll join a well‑established, multidisciplinary team with depth in paediatrics and the infrastructure to support you to do your best clinical work.

Why this role is different
-
Work alongside three experienced paediatricians who understand the realities of complex developmental work and shared care.
-
Be part of a large, stable team of GPs who actively refer and value allied health input, rather than seeing it as an add‑on.
-
Collaborate closely with many in‑house psychologist who provides psychometric assessments, giving you access to formal cognitive and behavioural data to inform your intervention plans.
-
Step into a caseload that already includes a wide range of developmental presentations ready to be handed over, rather than starting from scratch.

Your caseload and clinical opportunity
You will see a rich mix of developmental presentations across both speech pathology and occupational therapy, with strong referral streams for:
-
Speech, language and literacy difficulties across early childhood and school age.
-
Autism and neurodivergent children with communication, social and pragmatic needs.
-
Fine and gross motor delays, sensory processing differences, and support with daily living skills, emotional regulation and school readiness.
-
Ongoing long‑term clients from our existing paediatric team, creating continuity rather than sporadic, one‑off sessions.
The volume and variety of referrals mean you can shape a caseload around your interests, while still maintaining diversity day to day.

Who this will suit
This role is ideal if you:
-
Enjoy paediatrics and want a steady stream of developmental cases without constantly marketing yourself.
-
Value working within a medical setting with strong GP relationships, but still want the autonomy of allied health practice.
-
Are excited by genuine multidisciplinary teamwork, where your clinical opinion is sought out and respected.
-
Want to grow your skills with complex developmental presentations, supported by colleagues who can share cases, ideas and resources.
