REFLECT RESPECT RESPOND
Welcome
On behalf of the Conference Planning Committee, I warmly welcome everyone to join us for the Speech Pathology Australia 2023 National Conference in Hobart. For many, the 2023 conference will be an opportunity to reunite with colleagues across the country and the globe for the first time in years. The 2023 conference will be a place for us to reconnect and share our collective enthusiasm for real and sustained progress in our profession. We look forward to you joining us as we take time to reflect on our experiences and passions, respect our resilience and diversity, and respond with energy and innovation.

REFLECT
We are reflective practitioners who seek to continually develop our own knowledge and approaches to practice.
RESPECT
We provide culturally safe and responsive services and respect the qualities that make each person and community unique.
RESPOND
We collaborate, engage, advocate, and partner with individuals, families, colleagues, other professionals, and the community to respond to needs. We adapt our practice to respond to the influence of personal history, culture, language, and social background.
2023 Conference Planning Committee Key Dates
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future. We recognise that the health and 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.
