Senior Speech Pathology Transition Pathway (18 Months)

It can be hard to make the leap from early-career clinician to confident senior.

In speech pathology, the shift isn’t just about clinical skill.
A senior needs to:

• Balance their own caseload and complexity

• Continue deep clinical learning

• Supervise and invest in others

• Inspire and shape service delivery

That leap can feel unclear — and at times, isolating.

What if there was a pathway with graduated responsibility?

What if you could “try on” leadership in a safe environment — with gentle, structured feedback and coaching?

What if you could increase your exposure to complex clients while receiving PhD-level supervision?

What if you were mentored not only clinically, but in leadership, by a Director who has previously led a new hospital and other complex service?

Introducing Our 18-Month Senior Transition Pathway

You will be mentored by:

• Dr Victoria Sandham – Clinical Lead (PhD)

• Callum Trevorrow – Director

This pathway is intentionally designed to move you from capable clinician to respected senior.

Phase 1: Clinical Depth & Caseload Development

You begin by building a strong caseload across:

• NDIS

• Private clients

• Clinic-based work

• Community-based work

You deepen clinical reasoning, manage increasing complexity, and refine your decision-making. Receive clinical supervision from Dr Victoria Sandham.

Phase 2: Graduated Leadership Exposure

You will progressively gain experience in:

• Delegating to Allied Health Assistants

• Supporting our Speech Pathology student pathway

• Supervising new graduates (with oversight and coaching)

• Contributing to service development decisions

You won’t be “thrown in the deep end.”
You will be supported, debriefed, and coached.

Optional Advanced Streams

If aligned with your interests, you may:

• Help grow and shape our developing Feeding Clinic (feeding is not for everyone — and that’s okay)

• Guide Early Childhood Intervention Teachers through our Integrated Speech & Language Program

• Influence multidisciplinary practice across our growing service

What Happens After 18 Months?

You graduate into a Senior Speech Pathologist role:

• Clinically confident

• Competent in complexity

• Experienced in supervision

• Refined in your leadership

• Highly respected within your field

This is not just a title change.
It is a structured evolution into leadership.

Applicants must have 18 months experience as a Speech Pathologist.

If you are interested, please email admin@accesstotherapy.com.au and we will arrange an initial, no-obligation conversation with Callum and Victoria.

Formal applications close 20 March.
