What is Clever Communicators all about?

We are a boutique, client focused Speech Pathology clinic in Helensvale, on the Gold Coast. From July, we move to our new Coomera clinic, where will be multidisciplinary with a team of talented Occupational Therapists.

We are passionate about supporting our clients to reach their speech, language and communication goals. We predominantly support a paediatric population, but we also support some adults who fall within our clinical expertise.

We love working with those who have complex communication needs (CCN) (including those who use or require AAC). Don’t worry if you don’t have too many skills in this area! We acknowledge this is a niche area and we don’t expect you to have all the answers. We also love working with and are well equipped to support children who have:

Language differences

Speech Sound Disorders

Literacy difficulties

We support our clinicians to be confident supporting more ‘mainstream’ populations too, as we believe having a strong clinical foundation is imperative for delivering positive outcomes.

We offer mobile and in-clinic appointments, and our clinicians are provided with work-from-home opportunities each week.

What makes us different?

We are values driven:

We research, integrate and consider client preferences

We cooperate, support and respect one another

We focus on clear communication and genuine connections

We initiate and are solution focussed

We employ innovators, and we are constantly improving our service based on our clinician and client suggestions

We focus on clinician health and wellbeing, and we do this by:
