Hi, I’m Charlene. Nice to meet you!

I am the Practice Manager for the Care Speech Pathology Team. I am a mother to two beautiful young children and have completed a Bachelor of Science (Hons) at Griffith University.

Prior to becoming a mother, I worked for several years in commercial laboratories in the areas of Microbiology and Phycology. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed this line of work, I have always had a passion for helping others and the allied health industry. Over the years, I felt drawn to pursue a career more in line with these values, and as a result, I now have over 10 years’ experience in the area of allied health reception and Practice Management.

I love teamwork, building relationships and supporting the wonderful Care Speech Pathology team, so they can continue to deliver their exceptional services to improve the lives of our Care clients.

My experience with Care Speech Pathology has been amazing. I wasn’t sure about online therapy but it has been perfect for my teenage son. The gains he has made and the increase in confidence has been overwhelming. Thank you to such a professional team.

I have nothing bad to say about Care Speech. I honestly didn't think Zoom sessions would help my son to speak but they sure have worked wonders. Matthew Dubery has been patient, kind, and persistent. Thanks Care Speech and Matthew.

After my stroke I was assigned a speech pathologist, Nicole, who displayed tremendous encouragement. The program was provided via Zoom. I have no hesitation in recommending Care.

Thank you WandaYour service and assistance provided has been absolutely stunning. We can not thank you enough for the time that you spend with Ollie in helping him to grow.I just had the most amazing conversation with my son about a drawing that he had just done of driving and the visual representing a car. He would not have had the confidence or ability to share this prior to starting sessions with wanda, he was able to put some verbal with some sign language and a visual- truly fantastic, incredible and a magical moment to be captured.Your service provided to us has been absolutely impeccable

I love having weekly appointments with Wanda, one of the therapists care speech have. She understands my daughter and has given me and my great techniques to communicate with each other. Being non verbal has its challenges but I feel like Wanda knows just what to do to help over come these challenges.

Nicole has been absolutely amazing with my 3 year old . Being online it can be absolutely torture for everyone involved but Nicole captivated a busy 3 year old and he has improved so much in his time with her thanks Nicole!

My son Theo has been having speech therapy with Wanda over the last couple of months and the change has been amazing. I was slightly unsure of the online nature but the sessions were awesome and kept Theo engaged and looking forward to the next. Also as soon as Wanda felt Theo was ready to be discharged she said so without stringing us along and taking more money for extra session. 10/10 couldn't recommend highly enough.

I had the pleasure of having Nicole be my sons therapist. She was playful, fun, understanding and most importantly patient. My son isn’t the easiest child to work with but she always found a way. He has come leaps and bounds with his speech and we can’t believe how quickly he advanced!! Highly recommend!

Tabitha Rouke is amazing! My son was diagnosed with ODD among other challenges last year and I had previously had no success in engaging him in Telehealth. Not only has Tabitha successfully engaged my son in all activities each session but it was made fun and he now looks forward to his sessions. I can not wait to see where this year brings us for his therapy. You are truely amazing Tabitha 💞 if you are looking for some one amazing then contact care speech, you will not be disappointed….

I highly recommend Care Speech Pathology, they literally just make everything so easy. Prior to using Care Speech Pathology, I had used a number of Speech Therapist services to support my child but had not had a lot of success. My child's school knew I was looking for an alternative to the local providers in our area so passed on the details for Care Speech Pathology. The team took the time to find out about my child and successfully paired my child with the most appropriate therapist. Katie is kind and patient and very personable, my child looks forward to each session with Katie and I love not having to travel to the appointment. The convenience of doing each session virtually is another tick :)

Tabitha is wonderful and has a great rapport with my son, who can be reluctant to cooperate. They have lots of fun in the sessions while getting down to business. Her communications with me are prompt and the content is thorough. I couldn't rate her, and her admin team, highly enough. I'm very pleased I found her.

We were trying to find a local Speech Therapist but the waiting lists were so long. With COVID and Telehealth appointments we thought we’d give Care Speech Pathology a try. We have been delighted with the service provided. A thorough assessment was completed. Intervention provided on a needs basis, rather than on a predetermined weekly or fortnight basis with ample resources to support the learning at home. We definitely lucked in with Tabitha. She is bubbly, engaging and very knowledgeable. Thank you for the support of our language journey.

Incredible experience! Jack was super friendly and accommodating in helping me secure a appointment and ensuring all information was passed on to the Tabitha. Tabitha was energetic, kind and caring and really connected quickly with my son. Extremely knowledgeable and reassuring, I highly recommend Care Speech

Absolutely amazing service! I have been working with Tabitha to help my little girl and she is so patient and flexible with us! I’m so astounded to have found a speech pathologist like her. She genuinely cares about my daughters steps to getting her speech more accurate. I’m just so happy! We are making progress slowly but assuringly (given my daughters capabilities of focusing)I highly recommend every parent test this service out. 😀
