Thriving Kids is rolling out in SA, and decisions about how it’s delivered are being made right now. 🧡

Private allied health practices already support thousands of SA children under 9, in clinics, homes, kindys and schools, from Adelaide to the regions. We want policy makers to understand how that local capacity can be part of Thriving Kids, so families don’t lose access to the therapists who already know their child.

Your local MP can help, and a short email from you makes a difference.

✍️ Tell them who you are and where you live
💬 Share what support your child or your practice provides, and what it makes possible
🙏 Ask them to support continuity of care, local and regional providers, and genuine consultation

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Possibility to thrive

"Thriving is so much more than weight gain, it's feeling safe, nourished and loved. Every family does the very best they can for their child, but when circumstances interfere with a child's ability to eat, mealtimes can become a source of worry and stress. Feeding therapy not only helps a child grow, but a whole family to thrive". - Georgina Holloway, Senior Speech Pathologist and Clinical Lead

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Possibility to participate

“Feeding therapy creates opportunities for children to participate in everyday and special moments, from family dinners and school events to birthday parties, Christmas celebrations and everything in between.” - Zara Lyon, Speech Pathologist

27/08/2026

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Possibility to choose

"Children do best when they are given the autonomy to make their own decisions about what, how much and whether to eat. By allowing children to be guided by their own fullness and hunger cues we can create a safe and supportive mealtime environment where they can develop confidence and competence in eating at their own pace." - Nicola Gregson, Speech Pathologist

26/08/2026

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Possibility to belong

"Family mealtimes have a significant impact on family communication and functioning, the development of healthy eating patterns in children, and improved literacy and school performance in school-age and teen students." Skye McGregor, Senior Speech Pathologist and Breast-feeding Counsellor

Speech Pathology Week 2026: Possibility to Grow

"Growth encapsulates so much more than weight. Growth crosses the lifespan - beginning at birth and not stopping until the last breath. Physical, mental and emotional nourishment and development is supported by a varied diet with lots of colours and textures. This can be really challenging for many adults and children, however, feeding therapy support is available to optimise intake and facilitate growth across all areas of development over the lifespan." - Dr. Emily Lively, Founding Director and Principal Speech Pathologist
