We are excited to welcome two future Speech Pathologists to our Moree team! 👋

Lucy and Jess, Bachelor of Speech Pathology students from the The University of Newcastle, Australia have joined us for their rural placement and are already embracing everything that comes with learning and living in a regional community.

Lucy was drawn to speech pathology as the perfect blend of science and English, and is passionate about supporting children, particularly in Augmentative and Alternative Communication and social skills. She is looking forward to experiencing rural life for the first time and learning how to provide flexible, client-centred services in a regional setting. She has already noticed the adaptability of rural clinicians and the strong sense of community that makes health care here so unique.

Jess found her way to speech pathology after first studying nursing and discovering how powerful communication is in shaping independence and confidence. She is especially interested in paediatrics, neonatal feeding and community programs, and is keen to explore what makes rural practice such a rewarding career pathway. She has been reflecting on the unique barriers in rural health and the importance of early intervention to support participation across the lifespan.

Together, they are experiencing the diversity of a rural caseload, multidisciplinary teamwork and the meaningful impact that even small wins can have for clients and families.

For students considering placement, or graduates thinking about where their career could take them — rural health offers variety, autonomy, community connection and the opportunity to truly make a difference. Moree is proving that professional growth and lifestyle can go hand in hand.

And of course, a big thank you to Brooker Trading Co for keeping our Moree clinic well caffeinated — an essential part of any placement experience ☕

If you are studying allied health and curious about rural practice, we would love to hear from you! Message our page for more information.
