Cathy Maloney - Speech Pathology

Today, 3rd March, Is World Hearing Day, and this year's theme is 'Ear and hearing care for all! Let’s make it a reality'.
How lucky was I to be at the Australasian Newborn Hearing Screening Conference in Hobart.
Even better, one of the young people that I work with did a welcome speech.
Well done JPK, you were magnificent 🙌🙌🙌

Congratulations to Patrick Cripps on winning the 2023 AFL Brownlow medal, and for recognising the assistance he received from a speech pathologist in relation to executing his media duties as captain.

Asked about a time when he refused to do media, Patrick confirmed that he had told his club “I can’t be put in front of the cameras.” As a result, the club recommended he see a speech pathologist.

As Patrick Cripps acknowledged, “I couldn’t string two words help together in front of the media. That’s not a lie. End of 2015, start of 2016, I was that nervous, it was probably lucky we didn’t play well during that time.”

Well done, Patrick Cripps.

Today our Health Ambassador Rohan presented at the Central and Eastern Sydney PHN GROW Project launch.

Rohan shared his personal experience about navigating the healthcare system, and told everyone how important inclusive communication is for people with intellectual disability.

Project GROW is helping GPs and Allied Health practices become more accessible, and training GPs and Allied Health staff to better look after the health needs of people with intellectual disability 👏
