At Greenlights Therapies, we provide holistic, evidence-based speech pathology services for both children and adults experiencing communication and swallowing challenges. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or looking to grow as a clinician, you’ll find care that is compassionate, personalised, and grounded in clinical excellence.

After my first visit to Tasmania in 2024, I was captivated by the island’s natural beauty, calm pace, and welcoming lifestyle. That visit sparked a big life change, relocating from Cairns to Hobart, which I now feel lucky to call home.

The night after arriving in Hobart, I was gifted a rare sight: the Aurora Australis, a vivid display of green lights across the sky. That moment marked the beginning of a new chapter and inspired the name Greenlights Therapies, a practice built on the values of clinical excellence, integrity, warmth, collaboration, and holistic, evidence-based care.  The name reflects Tasmania’s stunning natural environment and symbolises progress, clarity, and calm confidence moving forward in the right direction.

Whether you’re seeking support with communication or swallowing, or you’re a clinician or health leader seeking guidance and growth, Greenlights is here to help.

You’ll find us at 7 Beach Road, Sandy Bay, Tasmania.

I look forward to welcoming you to our warm and supportive clinic.
