About Us

We are a paediatric speech pathology practice situated in the heart of the Sutherland Shire and have been in operation for over 20 years. We are a teaching clinic and, as such, are passionate about building into the next generation of therapists. Growth & learning are part of our core values and we have dedicated time in our schedules for regular internal professional development, supervision, peer mentoring, personal study time and combined sessions with a senior clinician. We are looking for therapists who enjoy working with children and their families, have a growth mindset, are willing to learn and have a genuine desire to see positive changes in the lives of their clients and families.

We have a diverse and interesting caseload and work predominantly with children aged 18 months to 18 years, although we do see some young adults as well. We are NDIS registered and treat children with a variety of diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, developmental delay, apraxia, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, down syndrome and genetic disorders. We also love working with neurotypical children with delayed speech production, language delays and literacy difficulties.

Our culture centers around doing the best that we can for our clients and supporting and building into our teammates. We like to have fun and we treat each member like family.
