What It’s Really Like Working in a Growing Speech & OT Clinic in Sydney

At Grow & Tell Speech and OT, we know that choosing the right workplace as a therapist matters just as much as choosing the right clinic for families. You can learn more about our team, values, mentoring approach and current opportunities on our Careers page.

Whether you are a Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Allied Health Assistant, or new graduate clinician, the environment you work in can have a major impact on your confidence, professional growth, and long-term career satisfaction.

As our clinics in Crows Nest and Rhodes continue to grow, we often speak with clinicians looking for something different:

• More support

• Better mentoring

• Stronger team culture

• Clear systems and structure

• Career progression opportunities

• A workplace focused on quality therapy, not just KPIs

Here’s what we believe makes a difference.

A Clinic That Invests in Clinical Development

One of the most common things therapists tell us is that they want ongoing learning, not just occasional PD days.

At Grow & Tell, clinicians receive regular mentoring, clinical support, team collaboration, and professional development opportunities throughout the year.

We believe strong support systems help therapists:

• build confidence faster

• deliver better therapy outcomes

• reduce burnout

• feel more connected within a team environment

This is especially important for newer graduates transitioning into paediatric private practice.

A Structured Environment That Reduces Stress

Private practice can sometimes feel overwhelming without the right systems in place.

We focus heavily on creating structure around:

• intake and onboarding

• clinical documentation

• parent communication

• scheduling support

• therapist collaboration

• supervision pathways

Having strong operational systems allows clinicians to spend more time focusing on therapy and less time worrying about administrative chaos.

A Genuine Team Environment

We work with children and families across the Lower North Shore and Inner West, and collaboration between Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists is a major part of our clinic culture.

Our clinicians regularly collaborate on:

• school support strategies

• emotional regulation goals

• feeding therapy

• social communication

• fine motor development

• sensory regulation

• parent coaching

We believe multidisciplinary collaboration leads to stronger outcomes for families and a more rewarding experience for therapists.

Supporting Both Experienced Clinicians and New Graduates

Not every therapist is looking for the same thing.

Some clinicians want leadership opportunities and career progression, while others want a supportive environment to continue building their skills.

We aim to provide:

• regular mentoring

• shadowing opportunities

• gradual caseload building

• leadership pathways

• flexible service delivery options

• admin support systems

• structured onboarding

For experienced clinicians, this can create opportunities to mentor others and contribute to clinic growth.

For newer clinicians, it can create a safer and more sustainable start to private practice.

Convenient Sydney Clinic Locations

Our clinics are designed to be accessible for both families and clinicians.

Our Crows Nest clinic is located opposite the metro station and close to the Sydney Metro network, making it convenient for therapists commuting from across Sydney.

Our Rhodes clinic is located near Rhodes Waterside with nearby parking and train access.
