Speech Pathology is included in the multidisciplinary care of inpatients as well as targeted outpatient services.
Paediatric speech pathology services are available to infants and children of all ages, prioritising early intervention.
Children are seen for assessment, intervention or management of communication difficulties such as speech sound development, early language disorders or feeding difficulties.
Speech Pathologists work as part of the Child and Family Therapy Team offering a range of services including assessment, advice and strategies to help parents and carers to support the development of their child.
Learn more about the Child and Family Therapy Team.
Adult speech pathology services can assist patients presenting with communication or swallowing difficulties, and are offered in the inpatient setting, community health and as part of the Transitional Care Program.
Speech Pathology services are offered to patients who reside in the Tweed Shire and do not, or are not, eligible to access other speech pathology services. There is a waiting list and patients will be prioritised in line with Tweed/Byron Speech Pathology assessment priorities.
