Senior Paediatric Speech Therapist

Eli's Place Allied Health is a vibrant and growing paediatric private practice supporting children aged 2–18 years with a variety of developmental, behavioural, and neurological needs.

Our clinic was founded by an Occupational Therapist who had worked in services that didn't prioritise their clinicians or their clients. We decided to be different. Here, happy, supported clinicians are at the heart of everything we do—because we know that leads to better outcomes for children and families.

We are proud to be a neurodiversity-affirming, family-focused, and outcomes-driven practice. We celebrate differences, partner with families, and work collaboratively to help kids thrive—at home, school, and in the community. Caseloads are varied and interesting, and we'll work with you to support your clinical interests—whether that's early language development, speech sound disorders, AAC, fluency, feeding, or social communication skills.
