Murrumbidgee Speech Pathology

04/08/2025

This year’s National Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Children’s Day theme is
Little Footsteps, Big Future. This theme
honours the journeys our children take as
they grow - each step guided by culture,
community and connection to Country.
We invite you to join us in recognising the
importance of nurturing children’s voices
and dreams. Together, we can support a
future where every child walks strong in
their identity and is empowered to shape
their own path.

We are so impressed with Virginia and Little Hearts - Nursing and Ability Care . All of the staff attended our workshop on using Key Word Sign to support communication. Using Key Word Sign helps with understanding and communicating. Our superstar AHA Jane runs these two hour workshops regularly, and can tailor it to meet the language used in your particular setting.

Meet the team: Chloe

What made you want to do speech pathology?
When I left school I knew I wanted to work in health. I was really attracted to speech because I thought that every day would be different, fun and exciting. I was right!

What do you enjoy doing in your free time outside of work?
I love making things and I am always looking for a new art class to try. I have tried all kinds of different arts and crafts, including macrame, water colour, painting, paper cutting and Lino printing.

Sweet or Savoury?
Definitely sweet! Ice cream is my favourite food.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to someone thinking about persuing a career in Speech Pathology?
Do it! It’s a fun and rewarding career. Every day you get to come to work and build relationships with people and support them to achieve their goals. You get to dig down into the research behind what you are doing, but also get to be creative.
