Strategic Planning 2020-2025

On Feb 29, 2020 the NZSTA executive board gathered to think deeply and collaboratively about the future.



We reflected on our association's past achievements. Our day started by reviewing the input from our members who completed a survey about what they value about the New Zealand Speech-Language Therapists' Association.



From that information, we 5 themes emerged. We'll update them as more survey responses come in, but for now, here is are the top 5:


1 - Achieving the best outcomes for all New Zealanders with communication and swallowing disorders
2 - Cultural safety to all of STLS and the clients and whānau who we serve.
3 - For our profession to feel connected to each other and to be a diverse profession the reflects the diversity of our communities
4 - Public awareness of the great work that we do
5 - We also want to be responsive to changes in the field and support safe practice by having high standards and great ethics


We also clearly heard that advocacy at all levels to have the resources to do this is essential.

We are posting this video right after we meet - the exact wording and form of the strategic plan will be developed over the next couple months with input from members and will be shared at this year's AGM
