"My journey into speech was a mission to find answers for my youngest child, who had a communication disorder that we could not get answers for. This fantastic degree not only opened the door to understanding the speech disorder that my daughter has but also helped to support her appropriately, which created tremendous changes in her ability to communicate."

"I had the opportunity to step into higher education after a career in trades and mining. James Cook University offered a great Social Work curriculum that is up to date on national and international social change and development issues. The Indigenous Education and Research Centre (IERC) offered me great wrap around support to ensure I stayed on track with my study goals while maintaining a work-life balance raising children."
