About this role

Not every paediatric role needs to feel busy to be meaningful.

This practice has taken a different approach keeping caseloads intentionally manageable so therapists can focus on building real connections with children and their families. The result is a calm, well-paced environment where progress is measured in small wins that actually matter.

What the role looks like
You’ll be working with a paediatric caseload across early intervention, developmental delays and school-aged support. Sessions are a mix of clinic-based work and community visits (schools, homes, kindy), depending on what works best for each child—and for you.

There’s flexibility to shape your caseload around your strengths. If you enjoy early years, you can lean into that. If you prefer working with older children or more complex presentations, there’s room for that too.

What makes this role different

  • Caseloads are built gradually—no pressure to “fill your calendar” overnight
  • Time is protected for planning, notes and communication with families
  • The clinic invests in resources that actually support your therapy sessions
  • You’re encouraged to try new approaches and bring your own style into your work

About the team
The team is small, approachable and genuinely supportive. There’s a strong sense of trust—no micromanagement, no unnecessary meetings—just open communication and shared ideas when you need them.

Leadership is hands-on but not intrusive, with a clear focus on keeping workloads sustainable and clinicians engaged long-term.

What’s on offer

  • Competitive salary with achievable incentives
  • Relocation support available
  • Flexible working arrangements (full-time or part-time)
  • Travel reimbursement for community work
  • Dedicated admin support
  • Professional development allowance + ongoing mentoring

Why Darwin?
Darwin offers a lifestyle that feels simpler—in a good way. Short commutes, warm weather year-round and a welcoming community make it easy to settle in quickly. It’s a place where you can focus on your work, but also properly switch off at the end of the day.

If you’re looking for a paediatric role where you can take your time, do meaningful work and be part of a grounded, supportive team—this is well worth exploring. Feel free to reach out to Camille at camille@mediix.com.au for more details.
