About Annelise
Speech Pathologist
Meet Annelise, a dedicated and compassionate speech therapist whose journey began at Curtin University, where she graduated with honours in 2023. Her commitment to her field is evident in her academic achievements and the genuine care she demonstrates towards her clients. In May 2024, she made the decision to relocate from Perth to Broome. This move was driven by her deep admiration for the Kimberley region's stunning natural beauty and vibrant cultural tapestry, a connection she forged during a transformative 10-week clinical placement in her final year that profoundly shaped her professional aspirations.
Since graduation, Annelise has been passionately engaged in the NDIS sector, where her mission is to empower individuals across the lifespan to overcome communication barriers and enhance their quality of life. Her specialised focus includes Early Language Intervention, where she employs evidence-based strategies to nurture language development in young children; Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), helping those with complex communication needs to express themselves effectively; and Dysphagia and Mealtime Management, addressing swallowing difficulties with compassion and expertise and ensuring safe and enjoyable mealtime experiences for her clients. Annelise has a warm and compassionate approach, as she strives to create tailored interventions that foster meaningful connections and independence for those she works with.
When she’s not at work, Annelise loves to go exploring in her four-wheel drive, camping, and swimming at the beach. To stay fit, Annelise frequently works out at the gym. She also loves playing football and enjoys the fun and teamwork that comes with each game. Annelise has a beloved dog named Pickle, whose playful nature and loyalty have brought her a lot of happiness since she rescued him not long after moving to Broome. For Annelise, every day is a chance to combine her passions for helping others, exploring the world, and building strong relationships in her work and personal life.
