šŸ–¤šŸ’›ā¤ļø NAIDOC Week
"The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacyā€

This NAIDOC Week, we honour the enduring strength, vision, and legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—and recognise the vital role that communication, language, and culture play in connecting generations.

As speech pathologists, we are committed to listening deeply, respecting cultural identity, and supporting First Nations voices—past, present, and future.

We acknowledge the diverse ways communication is expressed across communities and celebrate the power of language in healing, learning, and growing strong together.

Let’s walk alongside the next generation of First Nations leaders with respect, allyship, and action.

😷 Chronic Refractory Cough (CRC)

A cough that persists >8 weeks & is not responsive to medical treatment.

It can be so embarrassing for people experiencing CRC or throat clearing (especially since COVID) when in public.

People avoid them, and they in turn avoid everyone.

70% of people with CRC will also have Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), asthma & rhinosinusitis.

Adult&Aged Care Speech Pathology

Communication and swallowing disorders affect many people and this can lead to poor quality of life and adverse outcomes such as hospital admissions with pneumonia.

Hastings Macleay Speech Pathology is a private practice in the Hastings Macleay Port Macquarie region and specialised in adult and aged care communication and swallowing disorders.

My name is Carly, and I am a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist and director of HM Speech. My husband Dan and I moved to Port Macquarie with our Cavoodle Winston in 2019. My vision and commitment is to provide the opportunity for people living in this area to access mobile private services for treatment and management of all different kinds of communication and swallowing disorders. My special interest is degenerative neurological disease such as Motor Neuron Disease and Parkinson’s.

Home visits, group therapy, individual treatment and assessment, NDIS, Aged Care Facilities, Chronic Disease Management Plans are services which HM Speech offers.
