Starfish Speech Pathology – Working together to develop children's communication skills.

Starfish Speech Pathology is a neuroaffirming, innovative and child-centred paediatric speech pathology service with clinics based in Kiama and Kiama Downs. We also cover the surrounding Illawarra region as well as St George, Cronulla and the Sutherland Shire.

The aim of our service is to provide neuroaffirming, needs based, high quality and evidence based therapy in a fun way to enable each child to achieve full academic, emotional and social potential. In addition, through Starfish Speech Pathology’s sister company, Inclusion Therapy Training, we provide training for education and health professionals and parents.

*** We are constantly reviewing our COVID-19 Action Plan to best ensure the safety of all our families and our staff at the practice.

We acknowledge and feel grateful to live, work, learn and play on the beautiful lands of the Dharawal people.
We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging and honour their diverse culture, traditions and stories. This always has been and always will be, their land.

Diversity and inclusion is a crucial part of the Starfish Speech Pathology culture. We respect the wisdom and perspective of Aboriginal people and are grateful for every opportunity we continue to have to be educated about their ways of seeing and being.

Language is more than just a means to communicate; it is what makes us unique and plays a central role in our sense of identity. Language also carries meaning beyond the words themselves. It is a platform that allows cultural knowledge and heritage to be shared. Speaking and learning first languages provides a sense of belonging and empowerment.
