Speech pathologists work across a range of health settings including hospitals, schools, community health centers, residential and aged care facilities, disability services, mental health facilities, juvenile justice centers, and private clinics.

Services provided by government or not-for-profit organizations may be free of charge though there is often a waiting list for public services. Private services are provided by speech pathologists who may work in a sole practice or with other speech pathologists and in multidisciplinary practices.
