Transform the lives of others

The inspiring work done by speech pathologists is truly transformative. In treating adults and children who are exhibiting acquired or congenital disorders of speech, fluency, voice, language and swallowing, they are a crucial part of the healthcare sector. 

At Southern Cross University, our Bachelor of Speech Pathology is accredited by Speech Pathology Australia and includes professional placements in diverse settings, all of which will prepare you for a career that makes a difference every day. 

In fact, career opportunities for speech pathologists continue to grow, both in private practice and within health, education and specialist settings.
