Senior Speech Pathologist – Neurological (Parkinson's Focus)
The Parkinson's Centre – Award-Winning Allied Health Hub
Forest Glen, Sunshine Coast QLD
Contractor or Part-Time (Minimum 2 Days/Week)
$119–$130 per hour
The Parkinson's Centre is Australia's first and leading allied health hub dedicated exclusively to people living with Parkinson's and their partners.
We are an award-winning, community-recognised centre known for clinical excellence, innovation, and impact. Our model has raised over $90,000 for Parkinson's charities and continues to set the benchmark for integrated, Parkinson's-specific care in Australia.
We are seeking a highly experienced Speech Pathologist with a strong neurological focus to join our multidisciplinary team.
This is a rare opportunity to work within a fully Parkinson's-dedicated caseload — no paediatrics, no NDIS churn, no generalist mix. Just specialist, relationship-based neurological care.
-----------------------------------
Why This Role Is Different
100% Parkinson's and neuro-related caseload
Work inside an award-winning, purpose-driven organisation
Flexible structure – contractor or part-time employment
No volume-based KPIs — quality and outcomes matter
Integrated multidisciplinary team (Physio, EP, Dietetics, Massage)
Opportunities to contribute to workshops, carer education, conferences, and research partnerships
Strong referral flow and established community reputation
This is not high-turnover therapy. It is longitudinal, specialist care where your clinical reasoning genuinely matters.
-----------------------------------
About You
We are looking for a senior clinician who:
* Has minimum 3+ years' clinical experience (neurology and/or aged care essential)
* Is trained in LSVT LOUD, SPEAK OUT, or equivalent evidence-based Parkinson's programs
* Has demonstrated experience managing dysarthria, dysphagia, and cognitive-communication disorders
* Is confident working independently within a specialist model
* Brings strong interpersonal presence and high-level clinical judgement
* Holds current SPA registration and professional indemnity insurance
* Holds or is willing to operate under an ABN (if contractor model)
-----------------------------------
Who This Suits
* A senior Speech Pathologist wanting to step away from high-churn NDIS models
* A clinician wanting meaningful, specialist work without bureaucracy
* Someone motivated by impact, not just billables
