What are speech pathologists?
Speech Pathologists (also known as speech therapists or speech and language therapists) are allied health professionals who work with individuals with swallowing and communication difficulties or disorders. The team at Speechaus provide specialised services in adult communication, targeting therapy goals relating to speech, language, fluency, voice, and social skills.
Speech Pathologists often work closely with other allied health professionals (such as Occupational Therapists) to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care.

Empowerment
We believe that focusing on building strengths, even in the face of communication barriers and disadvantage, is the only way to transform lives.
Dr. Sarah Lobegeiger de Rodriguez
Founding Director
I started the clinic in 2013 because I saw that there was a need in Australia for pronunciation advocacy, clarification and fluency training for individuals feeling sidelined by speaker bias.
For the past decade I have been dedicated to expanding our team’s skills, resources and impact in the community with the end goal of ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and confident to take a seat at the table, no matter their language background, communication style or cultural heritage.
Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to welcoming you into our services, workshops and Speechaus!

Amanda Loh
Speech Pathologist
Growing up in a multicultural country and later as an international student in Australia, Amanda developed a deep appreciation for language diversity and its impact on communication. Amanda’s journey in speech pathology began in paediatric care, where she first witnessed the transformative power of intervention in children’s lives. However, as her path evolved, Amanda recognised a pressing need to advocate for adults grappling with confidence issues stemming from language and accent differences. Amanda is dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace their unique linguistic identities and communicate with confidence.
Drawing from her multicultural background, Amanda understands the complexities of navigating diverse linguistic landscapes and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapy.
Driven by a passion for innovation, Amanda is extremely keen to bridge gaps in access to care and enhance therapeutic outcomes. She strives to provide tailored support to adults seeking to overcome communication barriers and reclaim their voices in a rapidly evolving world.
Outside of work, you’ll find Amanda trying out new cafés with a group of friends, reading a good novel with a cup of coffee, or actively engaging in her newfound interest in bouldering.
