The core values that guide our everyday interactions

Integrity
We seek to protect each unique individual. We respect the privacy of clients and their families. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, sexual preference, disability, or communication modality. We celebrate neurodivergence and welcome the opportunity to connect, to acquire a deeper level of understanding and compassion for all that share their lives with us.


Professionalism
We maintain a high level of professionalism in all that we do, as we seek to support people's communication and mealtime functioning. We speak and behave in a respectful manner and maintain suitable objectivity in our work. We form and maintain collaborative relationships with the community in which we work.


Respect and Care
We respect the rights and dignity of our clients, their families and the professionals with whom we interact. We set forth with nurturing and caring intent, to support and empower those around us. We seek to understand cultural and familial context and the rich impacts of past experience on present functioning.


Quality Standards and Continuing Competence
We value knowledge sharing and life-long learning, and acknowledge the need for commitment to ongoing professional development. We maintain our certified practicing status with Speech Pathology Australia and keep abreast of evidence-based practices. We seek supervision and support as appropriate.
