Certified practising speech pathologists are the professionals who work with the millions of Australians with communication difficulty.

Any communication difficulty, mild or complex, may be a barrier for a person to interact with others and participate in everyday activities.

With the right support every person with communication difficulty can overcome these barriers and live a good life.

During Speech Pathology Week 2023 (20-26 August) we aim to raise awareness of the tremendous work that certified speech pathologists do. Find out more about speech pathologists and how they can help on our website.

Not all communication is verbal.

Australians communicate in a variety of ways, including sign language, electronic speech devices, word-based or picture-based communication boards or books, or eye-gaze technology.

Communication disability can take many forms.

There is no one universal disability experience, everyone with a communication disability has a story to tell.

The theme for Speech Pathology Week in 2022 is ‘Good Communications, Better Communities’.

Bookings are now open for children aged 5 to 11 to get the COVID-19 vaccine.



Special vaccine clinics will run exclusively for children aged 5 to 11 across Tasmania from 10 January 2022.



Clinics will be held at community locations across the state to give every primary school aged child the opportunity to get at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before they return to school in February.



Vaccinations are not mandatory to attend school, but we would encourage parents to get their children vaccinated to protect their children, their families, and our school community.



Last week a smaller paediatric dose of the Pfizer vaccine was approved as safe and effective for children aged 5 to 11 by Australia’s top medical experts.



Children will get two doses, eight weeks apart – but they will only be available in special children’s clinics and GPs.



Bookings are essential for children’s clinics and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
