A huge thank you to Ben Cook, Director of Smooth Dining Australia, who joined our third-year students today to deliver an outstanding practical tutorial on texture modified diets for people with dysphagia.
Your knowledge, innovation, and passion for dignified dining truly inspired our future speech pathologists!

Congratulations to JCU Speech Pathology staff member, Harriet Naylor, who has been accepted to commence her PhD!

Harriet's research will focus on codesigning a collaboration framework for speech pathologists and teachers to work together to support inclusive classroom practices.

We are looking forward to supporting Harriet in the coming years across her PhD journey. Dr Deb Denman will co-supervise Harriet's PhD.

Speech Pathology Australia supports Allied Health Professions Australia in calling for the expansion of the Commonwealth Prac Payment to include all allied health students.

A petition launched today by Independent Helen Haines MP and Senator David Pocock, alongside Allied Health Professions Australia, calls for equitable placement support across health disciplines.

Allied health students โ€“ including speech pathology students โ€“ complete extensive mandatory unpaid placements, often at significant personal cost. Expanding placement support is a practical step to reduce financial hardship, strengthen workforce sustainability, and ensure students can complete their training without unnecessary barriers.

Equitable access to placement support must be a national priority.

If you want to help end placement poverty for allied health and medicine students, sign the petition below.
