About Us
Evergreen Speech Pathology is a highly specialised Melbourne clinic founded and led by a speech pathologist with rare, international training and experience gained in leading paediatric therapy environments.
We exist for families who want more than standard therapy. We are for children who need advanced, creative, and compassionate support to truly move forward. At Evergreen, we deliver expertise you will not find in an ordinary practice, providing the kind of specialised care usually reserved for complex and challenging cases.
At Evergreen, we take the time to truly understand each child and family. We recognise that every child’s communication journey is unique, and progress looks different for everyone. Our approach is neuroaffirming, respectful, and collaborative. We celebrate each child’s strengths while supporting their challenges with care, patience, and genuine connection.
We provide Speech Pathology services to children in Doncaster, Bulleen, Templestowe, Ivanhoe, Balwyn, and surrounding suburbs.

Our Values
We bring word-leading, innovative therapy, offering a level of care you will not find in an ordinary clinic.
Specialised Expertise
Our therapy is guided by research, clinical skill, and strategies that lead to real, lasting progress.
Evidence-Based Care
We help children find their voice, connect with others, and build real confidence in everyday life, not just in the therapy room.
Whole-Child Focus
We take the time to get to know you and your child. Families trust Evergreen for our warmth, compassion, and commitment to helping every child thrive.
Family-Centred Care
Some children find progress difficult, even after trying therapy before. We know how to help those kids, the ones who need extra creativity, patience, and problem-solving to move forward.
