June 2016 Speak Out 7
Speech Pathology Week in 2016 will be held in
the week of 7-13 August. The theme for the week is
Speech Pathology – Creating Futures.
The theme ties in neatly with the Speech Pathology
2030 project, while reinforcing the important role
that speech pathologists play in the lives of many
Australians with speech and swallowing difficulties.
Speech Pathology Week seeks to promote the
speech pathology profession and the work done by
speech pathologists with the more than 1.1 million
Australians who have a communication or swallowing
disorder that impacts on their daily life.
Communication remains a basic human right and
Speech Pathology Week promotes this fact.
As in previous years, the week will be promoted by
a traditional media campaign, an online and social
media campaign, and campaign kits which will be
made available for members. Separate marketing
collateral will be supplied to State Branches to help
promote their Speech Pathology Week events.

Week, campaign material and other matters, visit the
