Happy Speech Pathology Week! In this week’s episode, SPA’s Anneke Flinn explores this year’s Speech Pathology Week theme, “Communication is everyone’s right” with Professor Sharynne McLeod, from Charles Sturt University. Sharynne would like to extend her gratitude to Gail Mulcair (SPA CEO), Gaenor Dixon (2019 SPA President), Belinda Hill (2019 SPA Vice President) and Jess McLeod for sharing her UN journey.

Speech Pathology Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future.

The President of Speech Pathology Australia sent the following email:
Hi Sharynne and Anneke, Thank you for a great commute home today. The SpeakUp podcast for SPweek was excellent. Both a celebration of the work we do, and a galvanising call for activities during the week. Nicely done! Best wishes Tim.
