"I have spent a lot of the last twenty years toiling in our bush block as a labour of love, removing introduced trees and plants and replanting natives. We planted a hoop pine that now towers over us and we enjoy the serenity the space brings. I was referred to the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) LOUD speech pathology program by my neurologist after my Parkinson's diagnosis. I'm glad I've taken up the opportunity and committed to making these appointments a priority."

Caroline is talking shop on her role as a Speech Pathologist at TPCH, working with patients who have had a stroke, acquired a brain injury or have a neuro degenerative condition that affects their capacity to speak and/or swallow. 👄
"Our goal is to continue in our preventative therapy practices to support our ageing population as their needs become more complex and challenging," Caroline shares.
"We find a balance between impairment based and functional therapy approaches to help our users communicate their way and find their unique voice."🗣️
Outside of work, Caroline is a member of the World Music Orchestra where she uses her elevated aural skills to enhance her musical performances. 🎼🎶

Peta was unwell at a young age, and when she spent her time staring at bland hospital walls imagining her future, she had no idea she would grow up to make brightening hospitals her career. 🎨🖌️
Peta has been with Metro North Health since 2008 as the Artist in Residence based at TPCH. She supports consumers both in community engagement groups and on the wards by enabling their talents with art as a therapy.
"Therapeutic art making is an important part of the consumer's journey," she said.
"I've seen growth that has exceeded my expectations, and the platforms that we've created here have helped some of our consumers launch careers in the creative field with amazing artwork."
"I'm so glad I get to bring joy to those in highly restrictive environments."
