Private Speech Pathologists Association
“When words fail me...I talk to a private speech pathologist”

The Private Speech Pathologists Association represents over 70 speech pathologists working in private practice in Western Australia, assisting people of all ages to overcome communication impairments.

What does a Speech Pathologist do ?
Speech Pathologists are tertiary-trained professionals who work with clients across the age span to improve communication and feeding skills.  More...

Accessing Private Services
PSPAWA members work within the private health and education system to provide an alternative to government services. More...

Ages and stages
Communication skills develop as children mature into adults, leading to differing expectations at different ages and stages. More...

Why join PSPAWA
We currently have around 80 members who enjoy a range of benefits which include:

  1. Listing on our website.
    As more and more clients use the internet to find services, being listed on the PSPAWA site has never been more valuable.  Our "Find A Speech Pathologist" page can direct clients to your practice, even if you don't have a website or any other electronic listing.
    We are also listed in the Yellow Pages, both on-line and in hard copy.
     
  2. Opportunities to network with other Speech Pathologists in private practice.
    Working in sole practices can be isolating.  Being part of a larger community offers opportunities for networking in a relaxed environment with other speech pathologists who are experiencing the same issues and concerns. Your involvement in PSPAWA can be as extensive as you wish - be it just at the social functions, the professional development events or in our regular meetings.
     
  3. Professional development
    Clinical forums occur 2 - 3 times per year in the evenings so as to not disrupt your clinic. Topics are suggested by our members to ensure they are relevant and current to our members needs.  These informal sessions provide wonderful opportunities to learn and share information, as well as gather useful tips and resources. They are free for our members and count toward Speech Pathology Australia's Professional Self Regulation (PSR) program.
