What the role involves

Speech pathologists working within Carevo’s network provide assessment and therapy to NDIS participants and aged care recipients across Ramsgate and surrounding areas. Most of this work happens in people’s homes, schools, or community settings rather than in a clinic, which means you are working in the environments where communication actually takes place.

The scope of practice is broad. On any given day you might assess a child’s language development and write a report for their NDIS plan review, run a therapy session targeting speech sound production, complete a mealtime management assessment for an older adult with dysphagia, or program and train a participant to use an AAC device. The work requires clinical confidence across a range of areas, and the ability to write clearly and quickly.

NDIS documentation is a significant part of the job. Functional assessments that link clearly to NDIS goals, therapy notes, and progress reports are all expected by the providers and support coordinators you work alongside.

Who you would support

Your clients may include children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental language disorder, or childhood apraxia of speech. They may also be adults with acquired brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, or intellectual disability.

In Ramsgate, many NDIS participants fund speech pathology under their Capacity Building budget. Older Australians receiving aged care services may also access speech pathology, particularly for dysphagia assessment and mealtime support.

How Carevo works

Carevo is not a job board with specific positions listed for you to apply to. It is a curated directory of available health and care professionals.

You create a profile on Carevo describing your qualifications, clinical areas, age groups you work with, your availability, and the parts of Ramsgate and surrounds you cover. Carevo then presents your profile to NDIS registered providers and aged care organisations in our network that are looking for speech pathology services.

When a provider is interested, they contact you directly. You discuss the caseload, the clients involved, and the working arrangement, and you decide whether it is right for you. You only take on work you agree to.

Pay and working arrangements

Pay rates for speech pathology in the NDIS and aged care sector depend on your experience, registration status, whether you are employed or contracting, and the specific support categories involved. Carevo does not set or guarantee rates. Those details are worked out between you and the provider directly.

What speech therapist pay looks like

Weekday$38 to $62 an hour
Saturday$57 to $93 an hour
Sunday$67 to $109 an hour
Public holiday$76 to $124 an hour

Casual employees receive a 25% loading on award minimum rates; most allied health professionals work weekdays and are paid an annual above-award salary rather than hourly penalty rates.

Indicative hourly rates based on the Health Professionals and Support Services Award (MA000027), reviewed July 2025. Modern award rates are national and do not vary by state. Pay is set by each provider and can be higher under an enterprise agreement. General information only, not financial advice.
