Dr Monique Waite is a Senior Lecturer in Speech Pathology in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Immediately prior to this appointment she held a Research Fellowship in the HEARing Cooperative Research Centre, leading a large-scale co-design project aimed at improving access and outcomes of telehealth early intervention services for children with hearing loss and their families. Monique is a pioneer in research in the application of telepractice in paediatric speech pathology- having completed the first PhD in this field in 2010. Monique’s current research is centred on exploring service provision in speech pathology and audiology, with a particular focus on young children and adolescents. This includes provision of services for children and families from for underserved populations including rural and remote and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
