Y our speech pathology career starts here!

Our student members tell us their Speech Pathology Australia membership helps them to find connection and community, and a place where they find out about what it’s like to be a speech pathologist. A student membership opens your world to a career in speech pathology and the exciting and broad areas of practice available to you when you graduate. Membership connects you to like-minded students and working speech pathologists to give you the inside knowledge about what’s in store for you when you transition into the profession. Of course, membership gives you access to a host of member only resources and support to help you in your studies, and large discounts for continual student membership when you progress to become a new graduate member, but it also connects you to the profession and your future career. Research shows that membership to your professional association during your early years of study will help to set you up for success now, and after you graduate. Join us , get a kick start into your career and find your people at Speech Pathology Australia.
