About Us
Emerald Speech is Emerald's newest local speech pathology practice offering face-to-face therapy sessions for those aged 3 and up. We work out of a room at Emerald Christian College, and accept Private and NDIS self-managed or plan-managed clients, as well as a few others.

Senior Speech Pathologist - Natalie McLennan
Natalie graduated from the University of Queensland in 2015 with a Bachelor in Speech Pathology (Hons). She is a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist (CPSP) with Speech Pathology Australia.
Natalie is a wife, and mum. She understands the challenges of juggling access to services, life's commitments and wanting the best for her children. In fact, this is why she was determined to return to Emerald! Natalie's passion is to provide a quality, evidence based and family-centred service.
