What is Speech Pathology?

Speech Pathology is a branch of allied health dedicated to developing and supporting communication in all its forms.

Everyone has the right to communicate and be understood, and our job is to support our clients with this – whatever that looks like for them.

We believe in holistic, client-centred and evidence-based care. With more than 50 years’ combined experience, our seven-strong team of Speech Pathologists work closely with families, carers, allied health and education providers to consider a client’s overall needs and maintain consistent goals and strategies.

Speech Pathology builds skills & knowledge around:

Language

The words that we understand and use, and the way we construct sentences.

Speech

The sounds we use to form words.

Voice

How we use body parts such as the larynx to make the sounds we need to communicate.

Fluency

Our speed and confidence in communicating.
