Speech Pathologist

Hi, I’m Tori, one of the Speech Pathologists at Little Allied Health. I completed my Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) at Flinders University in 2024 and have a genuine love for this profession.

Alongside my role here, I also work as a community-based Speech Pathologist, supporting people across the lifespan; from early intervention through to end-of-life care. This has given me valuable experience working with a diverse range of clients and families.

I was drawn to Little Allied Health for its strong sense of community. I love working with children and their families to build meaningful, functional goals that support growth both in and beyond the clinic. I also enjoy coming up with creative games to engage our young clients, as play is the best way to learn; you’ll often hear laughter coming through the office doors as we discover new ideas together.

This year, I’m excited to be learning Auslan.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me crafting, reading, or spending time with friends. My favourite sound is magpies singing outside my window in the morning.

Do I need a referral to see an audiologist?

You don’t need a referral to see an audiologist, although you may be able to access Medicare rebates when referred by an Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist, a Neurologist, or if your child has a Team Care Arrangement. Alternatively, audiology sessions may be claimable from your private health provider. If you have access to funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) we can provide services to self-managed and plan-managed clients.
