OUR TEAM
We are a small team of women consisting of speech pathologists, allied health assistants, administration, and clinical management. Eat. Speak. Repeat. is Aboriginal owned and proudly on Worimi and Wonnarua country.
We strive to uphold our values in all that we do – Diversity, Family, Empowerment, Impact, and Excellence. Providing holistic, inclusive healthcare is our vision and something we feel we do extremely well.
We provide speech therapy, feeding therapy, and orofacial myofunctional therapy for all ages.
We also work under a neurodiversity‐affirming healthcare model and provide continuing education to all staff to ensure they are up‐to‐date on all things neurodiversity‐affirming. Plenty of our team are also neurodivergent!
WHY WORK WITH US
We feel we offer an absolutely fantastic work environment for all staff – one that is inclusive, supportive, neurodiversity‐affirming, and full of passion.
We know our role can be demanding and often, as therapists, we can find ourselves on the verge of burnout. To help reduce the likelihood of burn‐out, our clinic runs on a 4‐day work week with Wednesday's as our day off.
We also ensure no therapist is over‐booked with clients. It's important that all of your clients are given appropriate amounts of time dedicated to their therapy plans, so over‐booking would mean we sacrifice the quality of service to the client and compromise our staff – something we absolutely don't want to do.
We are very stern on not taking work home. The hours you work are outlined in your contract. Outside of these hours it is encouraged that you live your life as anyone but a speech pathologist.
We are flexible on the hours you work. If you can only work 2 days a week, that's no problem with us! Want to work all 4 days? Go right ahead! Need to work a half day – no worries at all!
We give you the option of a 30‐ or 60‐minute lunch break. You may be someone who likes going for a long walk over lunch or you might prefer a quick break.
We pay above award rates – we know you're worth it – plus we offer a generous professional development allowance and up to 3 days of paid professional development leave (allowance and leave are dependant on the number of full days you work). You'll also get regular PD opportunities through weekly staff meetings where a different therapist presents on a topic of interest each week.
We take joy seriously at Eat. Speak. Repeat. and encourage laughter as often as possible. We strive for a workplace that is light‐hearted and joyous. We want positivity and fun to radiate throughout both of our clinics and beyond.
Everything is provided for you, so you don't need to bring a thing. You'll get your own room, a laptop, access to shared iPads, and the most insane amount of resources. All your scheduling is done for you with our admin team (they're superstars), and you can request support with resource making from our AHA or admin staff. You also get regular supervision. We can source external supervision where needed if someone on the team doesn't specialise in a certain area of practice you're needing support with.
You also have the option to work out of our movement room – a room with NO tables or chairs where the clients have freedom to roam, regulate, and sensory seek or avoid to their heart's content.
