In this week’s episode, we speak with SPA Life Member Ann Zubrick about learnings from an extraordinary career that includes starting the first speech pathology university programs in Western Australia, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Ann shares her reflections on postgraduate education, volunteering, dementia and aged care, practice-based evidence, mentoring, and “looking back with thanksgiving, and forward with courage.”

Speech Pathology Australia 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.
