Are you an experienced Speech Therapist who is passionate about supporting children and families to feel included, empowered, and connected in their communities?

At OKAY Therapy, we’re looking for someone who brings curiosity, compassion, and professionalism to their work—and who values meaningful relationships just as much as clinical skill.

This isn’t a typical allied health role. It’s a place where your work has purpose, your wellbeing matters, and you can grow alongside a team that genuinely cares about connection, community, and real impact.

Who We Are

OKAY Therapy is a welcoming, multidisciplinary team of Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Social Workers supporting families, schools, and communities across Victoria.

We are deeply committed to building inclusive communities and creating a workplace where people can truly thrive. Our practice is grounded in strong relationships, open communication, and evidence-informed therapy. By taking the time to understand each individual and their goals, we deliver tailored support that builds skills, confidence, belonging, and meaningful change.

You’ll be joining a team that genuinely cares about their work—and about one another.

You’re an experienced Speech Therapist who brings warmth, creativity, and professionalism to your work. You care deeply about client outcomes while also valuing your own wellbeing. You enjoy autonomy and flexibility, but also love being part of a supportive, playful, and values-driven team.
