In this episode of The Scholars’ Podcast, we speak with Rebecca Keeley (2022 Tim Fischer John Monash Scholar) speech pathologist and rural health advocate, about re-designing allied health service delivery in Australia.
Rebecca is the Founder & CEO of Yarn Speech, a startup making speech pathology principles more accessible to children and their carers. She shares the inspiration behind her work, the challenges of addressing long waitlists in rural and remote areas, and how technology can help meet growing demand under the NDIS.
Her innovative approach has been recognised with the NSW/ACT AgriFutures Australia Rural Women’s Award, and Yarn Speech is already creating excitement among families and clinicians nationwide.
