At The Soundmill Centre, our ethos is grounded in respect, evidence-based practice, and genuine connection with children, families, and educators. Everything we do is guided by a shared commitment to helping every child communicate, connect, and thrive. Our work is shaped by a clear vision and a set of values that guide how we show up for families, plan care, and celebrate progress.

Our Vision

Transforming lives and empowering families through compassionate, evidence-based speech, language, literacy, and feeding care for children and teenagers.

Our Values: The HEART of Our Practice

Our values shape the way we care for children and families every day. They are not just words — they form the foundation of our practice and guide how we connect, collaborate, and deliver care. Together, they represent the HEART of who we are.

​

Heart:  We lead with genuine care, compassion, and commitment. We work from the heart to support, educate, and empower the children, families, and professionals who journey alongside us.

Excellence: We deliver high-quality services grounded in current research while recognising each child’s unique strengths. Our focus is on achieving positive, sustainable outcomes through thoughtful, evidence-based practice.

Achievement: We use holistic, collaborative, and evidence-informed approaches to empower parents and caregivers as a child’s first teachers. We work in partnership with educators and other professionals to support communication growth across all areas of a child’s developing world.

Respect & Honesty: We work with integrity, transparency, and accountability. Clear communication, mutual respect, and honesty underpin every interaction with children, families, and our wider community.

Team: Our team is central to everything we do. We value collaboration, respect, and shared learning, and we support one another to grow, reflect, and provide the highest standard of heart-centred care.
