Welcome to SPA's new National Office!

As mentioned in the May and June issues of National e-News , Speech Pathology Australia's National Office has relocated. While the offices at Bank Place served the Association very well for more than 18 years, they slowly became filled to capacity, and hence found the need to move to larger premises. The decision to move offices came after a year of market analysis and financial investigations by the Board with respect to the appropriate options to pursue. Scenario options of selling versus renting were thoroughly explored. It was determined that the Association would retain and rent out its offices at Bank Place in Melbourne, and move to new leased premises. After considerable property searching, the Board decided the National Office

would move to new premises in William Street, Melbourne (just a short stroll from the previous office in Bank Place). The new offices are professional, modern (with a lot of natural light), and with leafy views down William Street. The move took place during the last week of May, and members are thanked for their patience while the office was offline. SPA's new address is: Level 1/114 William Street, Melbourne. All other details (phone, fax, emails) remain the same. Members are most welcome to visit the new location. It has been a busy transitional time, but staff have settled in well and are enjoying the new office, which is already proving to have enhanced efficiencies and collaboration. Gail Mulcair Chief Executive Officer
