Majarlin Kimberley Centre for Remote Health

28/08/2026

This Speech Pathology Week, Majarlin is proud to celebrate the role communication plays in helping people connect, participate and feel a sense of belonging in their communities.

At Majarlin, our Speech Pathology Clinical Educator works alongside students, clinicians and community partners to give the next generation of clinicians the opportunity to learn and experience what working in our region is like.

We’re proud to support these experiences and be part of a team that recognises communication as more than just words. It’s connection, participation and belonging.
