The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for speech pathologists runs the therapy book and the report chase.

The pathologist still assesses and delivers therapy.

Two jobs shape a normal week for speech pathologists: Book assessment and therapy blocks, and send home-practice reminders the pathologist approved. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Book assessment and therapy blocks

  • Send home-practice reminders the pathologist approved

  • Track report deadlines for schools and NDIS

  • Fill cancellations from the waitlist

  • Receipt session fees without clinical detail in the memo

Book assessment and therapy blocks. For speech pathologists, that work sits beside Cliniko or Halaxy. The principal still makes the call above it.

Send home-practice reminders the pathologist approved. Ask each finalist for speech pathologists when they last did this, and whether they did it in Cliniko or Halaxy.

The brief for speech pathologists should treat this as a standing job: track report deadlines for schools and NDIS. Cliniko or Halaxy is where the office checks it.

Fill cancellations from the waitlist. If the hire has not used Cliniko or Halaxy, the first month for speech pathologists includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Receipt session fees without clinical detail in the memo. For speech pathologists, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.
