Each year Speech Pathology Australia
hosts Speech Pathology Week to create
awareness of those in our community who
have a communication or swallowing difficulty.
This year the theme is Speech Pathologists –
Creating Futures!
The week highlights the important role
that speech pathologists play in assisting
Australians with a communication or
swallowing difficulty.
Communication skills underpin the ability to
read and write, get a job, and enjoy family and
friends.
Speech pathologists work with people to
change lives and build opportunities. Speech
pathologists are creating futures!
Those first few paragraphs come straight from
one of the 70,000 mini-mags that have been
produced and distributed throughout Australia
for Speech Pathology Week. Last year, the
Speech Pathology Week campaign included
a national postcard. This year the postcard
has been replaced by a postcard-sized
12 page booklet or mini-mag. A mini-mag
accompanied this edition of Speak Out.
The small booklet promotes Speech Pathology
Week, the speech pathology profession, and
Speech Pathology Australia. It also explains
what a speech pathologist is, how to find one,
and how to become one.
Individual Speech Pathology Week kits
have been distributed to more than 240
Association members who registered to
receive one. In addition, a larger kit was
sent to the Association’s seven Branches.
The kits include posters, magnets, stickers,
wristbands, balloons, and flyers. Campaign
collateral can also be downloaded from the
Association’s website, including a template
press release, for use by members to promote
the week with their local media. Visit www.
Finally, help promote Speech Pathology Week
through social media. Where appropriate,
remember to include the Association’s
handle @SpeechPathAus and/or the hashtag
