The Department provides many technical and clinical facilities for students and researchers.

Audiology and Speech Pathology clinics and observation rooms are provided with equipment utilised for the assessment, treatment and review of patients and for research.

A mobile studio and speech pathology laboratory is also available. The laboratory is a 4WD mobile speech and hearing recording studio to allow high quality recordings and analyses to be made of both indigenous Australian languages and of rural Australian English in remote communities. The project has national priority by promoting the use and development of indigenous languages; the infrastructure will also contribute primary data for training spoken human-machine communication systems on Australian English characteristics. Specific outcomes include building a CD-ROM archive of indigenous Australian languages, providing the first ever facilities for assessing communication and hearing disorders in remote communities, and enhancing our knowledge of Australian English in relation to other English accents.

Among other facilities available for staff and research students there is a sound recording studio, speech perception and speech physiology facilities including airflow/pressure equipment and kinematic equipment for measuring jaw/lip/tongue movement.

Our Translation and Interpreting Centre provide multiple class rooms and language laboratories with a new state-of-the-art seminar translation facility just installed.
