Speech Pathology Australia is the national professional association for speech pathologists in Australia. The Association supports and regulates the ethical, clinical and professional standards of the profession, as well as lobbying and advocating for access to services that benefit people with communication and swallowing difficulties. Membership is open to applicants who meet the Association’s eligibility requirements. The Association is recognised by government as the professional body representing speech pathologists in Australia. Speech pathologists study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speech, language, reading and writing, stuttering and voice. People who experience difficulties swallowing food and drinking safely can also be helped by a speech pathologist. Speech pathologists work with people who have communication and swallowing difficulties that: - arise from premature birth, or may be present from birth (e.g., cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, hearing impairments and cleft palate); or - occur as a result of physical, intellectual or sensory disability or a mental illness; or - emerge during early childhood (e.g., speech and language disorders, stuttering, difficulties learning to read and write); or - occur during adult years (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, head/ neck cancers, neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neurone disease); or - develop in the elderly (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease). Speech pathologists work in a variety of settings, including public and private hospitals; early intervention; child care and education settings; community health and rehabilitation centres; corporate organisations; correctional and juvenile justice facilities; disability services; universities; mental health services; residential accommodation; aged care facilities; private homes; and private speech pathology clinics.

Talking Matters is a private paediatric allied health practice based in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Our team of speech pathologists, occupational therapists and support staff work to support children with disabilities. We provide early intervention and school based services, specialising in assisting children on the autism spectrum, developmental delays and disorders. We provide a team approach and work together to achieve positive outcomes for children with a range of difficulties that impact on their development. Originally opening as a team of 2 speech pathologists, Talking Matters has grown strongly every year, driven by our desire to see children in our community have access to high quality supports so they can achieve their potential. In 2013 we moved into a current facility which provides us with the space and resources we need to provide a range of programs for individuals and small groups. Our facilities include outdoor therapy areas, bringing a wider range of therapy options and experiences we are able to provide. Our team also provide services in over 60 private and public school settings, supporting educators in providing inclusive options for children who need more support to achieve their personal success. Our work with schools includes training and development sessions held by our team in our office, covering a range of relevant topics. Training sessions offered are practical and welcoming with our key aim being participants leaving able to easily implement ideas in their teaching. Talking Matters provide services for clients with NDIS funding packages, with Medicare referrals, private health insurance and families who self fund supports for their children. We also provide a range of information and activities on our website and through social media engagement to support families.
