“Listening is the first act of connection.” Our team spends a lot of time listening — to children, families, and each other. Listening helps us understand what matters most to the people we support. It builds trust, safety, and shared goals. Real communication starts with being heard.

We don’t measure success by how “typical” communication looks. We look at confidence, participation, and meaningful connection. Communication should support identity, not erase it. When people feel accepted, they’re more likely to engage and grow. Strengths‑based support creates lasting impact.

Introducing the Victorian Allied Health Providers Group.

Many practices. One voice.

We are a collective of 13 established Victorian allied health organisations, 255 clinicians strong, already supporting more than 9,000 children every year across 52 of Victoria’s 79 LGAs.

Occupational therapists. Speech pathologists. Physiotherapists. Psychologists. Already working with children, families, schools and early childhood settings every day.

As Thriving Kids and Foundational Supports roll out, we are here to make sure the workforce already supporting Victorian children is recognised, funded and embedded in the reform.

What we are asking for:
✓ Inclusion of established allied health providers as eligible Targeted Support Providers under Thriving Kids
✓ A seat at the table in the design and deployment of Foundational Supports for Children
✓ Capability-based provider eligibility: quality, safety and governance, not funding structure alone

Chrissy comes from a diverse background with 15 years of experience in primary school teaching before becoming a Teacher of the Deaf. She completed a Master of Special and Inclusive Education at the University of Newcastle and is passionate about supporting children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

She recently joined Peninsula Plus, drawn to its person-centred approach in assisting children and their families in navigating the best path for their unique needs. Chrissy enjoys working closely with families and educators to help children become their best selves and progress in their learning journey. She values teamwork, believing that collaboration with families, other professionals, and educators is key to achieving the best outcomes for the children she supports.

The words we use shape understanding and belonging. That’s why we say “uses non‑speaking communication” instead of “non‑verbal.” Language should reflect respect, dignity, and possibility. Inclusive language helps create environments where people feel seen and valued. Small shifts in language can make a big difference.

Allied health support isn’t only for children — adults deserve support that is respectful, practical, and tailored too. Some adults seek support for communication, confidence, mental health, regulation, executive functioning, sensory needs, or life transitions. Others access support related to neurological changes, rehabilitation needs, or swallowing and communication after health events. What we hear often is, “I wish I’d done this earlier” — but the truth is, the right time is when you’re ready. Support can reduce daily friction, build self-understanding, and strengthen participation in work, relationships, and community life. You don’t have to push through alone, and you don’t have to wait until things are at breaking point to deserve support.
If this resonates, you’re allowed to take up space in your own care.

Communication support works best when teams work together. Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Allied Health Assistants each bring unique expertise. Collaboration helps support communication across home, school, and community settings. When teams align around shared goals, progress feels more meaningful and sustainable. Strong communication is built through teamwork.

A gentle communication tip: slow down, pause, and follow your child’s lead. When we reduce pressure and expectations, communication often becomes easier. Connection grows in moments of shared attention, not constant questioning. Trust that communication can look different from day to day. Small moments of connection make a big difference over time.

AAC is not a last resort — AAC is communication. Some people use AAC alongside speech, some use it instead of speech, and some use it at different times. What matters most is access to communication that works for the individual. Everyone deserves tools that support their voice, autonomy, and participation. Communication access is a human right.
