Non-Speech Pathologist co-contributors/presenters
We understand the importance and value of presentations that promote diversity and collaboration, particularly among multi-disciplinary teams (e.g. other allied health, educational, or medical professionals) and individuals who have co-designed their supports (e.g. individuals with lived experience of communication and swallowing needs and their caregivers, and underrepresented communities). It's crucial that research and discussions encompass the varied perspectives of all team members and prioritise consultation with those whom we support, as their firsthand insights and perspectives play a vital role in shaping discussions and deepening community understanding. If one of your co-contributors/presenters is attending solely to present in your session, we can organise a complimentary session pass, allowing them to attend, participate, and contribute to discussions.
NB: Session passes do not include access to catering or other sessions within the conference program.
To request the session pass, please contact the Conference and Events team and provide the following:
- Presentation details
- Submission #
- Name
- Co-presenter details
- First name
- Last name
- Mobile

Acknowledgement of Country
As part of our commitment to honouring and respecting Australia's First Nation's People, a formal Acknowledgement to Country or Welcome to Country will be conducted during the opening session of the conference.
Presenters are encouraged to consider incorporating an Acknowledgement of Country at the beginning of their presentation.
e.g. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas, and waters throughout Australia, and pay respects to Elders past, present and future. We recognise that the health, social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are grounded in continued connection to Culture, Country, Language, and Community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
This small but meaningful gesture demonstrates respect and appreciation for the Traditional Owners who have cared for this land for tens of thousands of years.

To make the most of Speech Pathology Australia 2024 Conference, we encourage you to share with your colleagues and peers that you are presenting at the conference. SPA suggests the following:
- Make use of the free resources created just for you!
- Share your involvement on social media using #SPACONF2024 and tagging Speech Pathology Australia in your posts. Don't forget to link to the conference website.
