Meet Amanda Marchant
Clinic Director
Bachelor of Nursing (R.N. #NMW0001270013)
Master of Speech Pathology
Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (Member No. 29955)
An enthusiastic and energised Speech Pathologist, Amanda spent the first 15 years of her professional career as a Registered Nurse. Working across multiple disciplines, including the neonatal division at Sydney Children’s Hospital and more recently at the Children’s Ward at Gosford Hospital, Amanda discovered that children need to be understood and heard – just like adults – but sometimes cannot articulate how they feel or what they want to say.
With this passion, Amanda redirected her focus to Speech Pathology to help children find their voice, to be heard and to be understood.
As a fully trained Registered Nurse specialising in children, Amanda completed her Masters Degree in Speech Pathology to complement her nursing career.
The combination of Nursing and Speech Pathology, is at the core of Amanda’s education style and method of service delivery.
Amanda has experience providing assessment and high-quality evidence-based therapy to children of all ages. She is certified to deliver The Lidcombe Program for stuttering, Sounds-Write for literacy and PECS trained for communication (AAC).
Her approach is to work alongside families, taking time to understand the goals and deliverables for each child’s needs. She believes each child and their needs are different and strives to provide individualised therapy, with early intervention a strong part of her approach.
In Amanda’s spare time she loves cross country running, playing tennis, skiing and camping with her husband and two children.
