Are you an experienced and caring Speech Therapist who is passionate about supporting children and families to feel included in the community? At OKAY Therapy, we're looking for someone who brings curiosity, compassion and professionalism to their work and who values meaningful relationships just as much as clinical skill.
This isn't a typical allied health role. It's a place where your work has purpose, your wellbeing matters, and you can grow alongside a team that genuinely cares about connection, community and making a real difference.
Who We Are
OKAY Therapy is a welcoming team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, and social workers supporting families, schools and communities across Victoria. We're committed to creating both inclusive communities and a workplace where people can genuinely thrive.
