Hear from some of our recent 2025 Speech Graduates about the New Graduate Program!

The New Grad Program is a great way to build up your knowledge as a speech pathologist straight out of university. The program has a wide range of topics and it has helped me gain a lot of confidence in the clinical decisions I make!

The new graduate program was an invaluable experience that help build my confidence as an early career clinician working in the RACF setting. It was also great to meet other colleagues around the team that are in similar background/stage in the profession. I feel well supported and it was a safe space for us to learn and reflect on.
