Your Speech Pathologist Dream Job Awaits in Stunning Mount Gambier, SA!

Our Organisation

The Benevolent Society’s vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non-religious service provider which supports people to live life their way.

As part of The Benevolent Society's vision, we are strongly committed to reconciliation with our First Nations people of Australia. We remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We offer our services to a diverse range of clients from adults to children with physical or intellectual disabilities, working flexibly either in their homes, community settings or from our office space.

As a passionate Speech Pathologist, you'll be embraced by our multi-disciplinary disability services team. This journey is about collaboration, and you won't walk it alone. Our seasoned Senior Practitioners and fellow Allied Health Professionals are your trusty companions, guiding you every step of the way. They're here to empower you to deliver high-quality, evidence-based, and client- focused services that truly make a difference!

Hold onto your hat! You'll be traveling in style with our pool cars, taking your services to clients in and around the magnificent Mount Gambier. The scenic routes are just a bonus!
