Foundational Supports

Recent comments by Minister Mark Butler suggest funding agreements for foundational supports are still being finalised, leaving the exact date that roll out will begin uncertain. We are continuing to engage with policy makers and politicians regarding the development of these supports.

Speech Pathology Australia in partnership with Dietitians Australia released a set of eight key principles on 13 May to underpin the future development of Foundational Supports.

Speech Pathology Australia CEO, Lyn Brodie, was on ABC Illawara to talk about Foundational Supports and discussed the importance of a nationally consistent and connected system.
