Speech Pathology
Communication is built.
We help build it.
Speech pathology services for children, adults and older Australians. Communication, language development, social communication, swallowing assessment and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Speech pathology is one of the most under-recognised disciplines in allied health. The work goes far beyond pronunciation. Our speech pathologists support communication in every form: spoken language, written language, social communication, technology-assisted communication and the ability to safely eat and drink.
We work across the lifespan: children at every stage of development, adults navigating injury or illness, older Australians maintaining communication and swallowing.
