Speech Pathology International Placement

This two-week international placement offers Speech Pathology students the opportunity to gain meaningful hands-on experience while working with local communities in Bangkok, Thailand. Students will enhance their ability to deliver culturally safe care, broaden their understanding of global health practices, and develop greater professional adaptability by seeing how speech pathology is delivered in a different cultural and clinical context.

Studying overseas provides students with far more than academic learning—it builds confidence, independence, cross-cultural communication skills, and global awareness. Immersed in the vibrant culture of Thailand, participants will enjoy activities such as a Thai cooking class, cultural training, and visits to iconic landmarks including the Grand Palace and Temple of the Reclining Buddha. This rich combination of professional development and cultural exploration makes the program a rewarding experience that will strengthen students’ personal and professional growth.

The program is run in partnership with and supported by CISAustralia, ensuring a safe, structured, and enriching overseas experience for all participants.
