Important Information

We strongly recommend the public seeking a speech-language therapist ONLY engage in an agreement with a speech-language therapist who is a registered member with the New Zealand Speech-language Therapists’ Association (NZSTA).

The New Zealand Speech-language Therapists’ Association (NZSTA) self-regulates members through:

1. The NZSTA provides a clear statement of the scope of practice of a profession including what is not within scope for a profession
2. The NZSTA provides quality assurance of the tertiary courses of New Zealand
3. The NZSTA provides quality assurance of overseas-trained speech-language therapists requesting membership
4. The NZSTA provides a framework ensuring a structured and supervised first year of practice for newly qualified speech-language therapists
5. The NZSTA provides continuing quality assurance of its registered professionals
6. The NZSTA provides a framework ensuring a structured and supervised first year of practice for speech-language therapists with fewer than 1,000 hours of practice in the past 5 year
7. The NZSTA can restrict a professional’s activities to protect the public and in some cases, withdraw membership of an individual

All speech-language therapists on this site are members registered with the NZSTA.
