Coffs Harbour Speech Pathology student Bronte Wall with a client in the new clinic set to open to the public next year Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour campus has unveiled its new $500,000 Speech Pathology facilities, including a new Health Clinic due to open to the public next year.
Coffs Harbour Head of Campus Professor Les Christidis said the new health facilities would support the local health sector as well as student learning.
“The Health Clinic for Speech Pathology is the first step towards Southern Cross University’s vision of establishing a major health clinic at the Coffs Campus that accommodates occupational therapy, psychology, youth mental health, nursing, exercise science, injury rehabilitation, Indigenous health, midwifery and telehealth practices,” he said.
Professor Christidis said Southern Cross University’s Speech Pathology degree has had a surge in applications since its launch at the Coffs Harbour campus in Session 1 2021, with local and national demand for qualified speech pathologists exceeding current supply.
