Andrea Burt

I was born and raised in Hobart and left to pursue my education at university in Sydney. Since graduating in 1992 I have dedicated my career to working as a paediatric speech pathologist in both New South Wales and Queensland. My experience spans various settings, including community health, private practice, and schools, where I have developed a strong foundation in assessing and supporting children with communication difficulties.

I am thrilled to be back in Tasmania with my family, contributing to the incredible team at Speech Pathology Tasmania. Our large, supportive group of clinicians brings a diverse range of skills, creating a collaborative environment that enhances our ability to help our clients.

I particularly enjoy working with preschool-aged children and their families, where I can make a significant impact during these formative years. I provide assessments and therapy in schools and during home visits. This flexibility allows me to tailor my approach to each child’s unique environment and needs, ensuring that they receive the best possible support.

My approach is focused on creating a nurturing and engaging atmosphere for learning, and I believe in the importance of partnering with families. Empowering parents with strategies to support their child’s development is crucial. It is deeply rewarding to witness the progress of the children I work with, knowing that I play a role in helping them find their voice and communicate effectively.
