Flexible Work for Real Life: How Access to Therapy Supports Women and Families

At Access to Therapy, we understand that great work doesn’t come at the cost of family. Whether you’re raising young children, returning from parental leave, or needing flexibility for other responsibilities, we offer real solutions that support speech pathologists and occupational therapists as whole people — not just clinicians.

👩‍👧 Supporting Women Returning to the Workforce

Returning to clinical work after time away can be daunting. We make it easier by offering:

  • Gentle ramp-up options (start with 1–2 days a week and build up)

  • Mentorship from senior staff who understand the transition

  • Tailored supervision to rebuild clinical confidence

  • Admin support to reduce your non-clinical workload

Many of our team members are parents — we don’t just tolerate flexibility, we design for it.

🕓 Flexible Work That’s Actually Flexible

Need to work around kindy drop-offs or school pick-ups? Want a short day in the middle of the week? We can do that. Our model is based on autonomy and trust, not rigid schedules.

We offer:

  • Customisable schedules — choose your hours

  • Mix of in-person and non-face-to-face work

  • No expectation of after-hours or overtime

  • Time and space to manage life’s curveballs

Whether you’re after a speech pathology job with school hours or a part-time occupational therapy job that fits your family rhythm, we’ll help make it work.

🤝 Culture That Cares

You won’t be expected to “do it all” here. We support each other through:

  • A multidisciplinary team that shares insights and workload

  • Open communication around availability and personal needs

  • Leaders who actively check in on how you’re tracking — clinically and personally

This is a place where you can speak up, reset boundaries, and still progress professionally. Because being part of a great team shouldn’t require hiding your personal life.

🌱 Growth Without Guilt

Flexibility doesn’t mean putting your development on hold. At Access to Therapy, we’ve built pathways that support leadership, skill development, and autonomy — even if you work part-time.

  • Choose how you spend your professional development allowance

  • Join optional co-visits and team projects

  • Build your clinical voice in a supportive setting

We don’t see part-time work as a limitation. We see it as one of the many valid ways to thrive in a speech pathology or occupational therapy role.

Looking for a paediatric speech pathology job or occupational therapy job that understands family life? We’d love to meet you. At Access to Therapy, you’ll find a workplace built for real life — not just a job description.
