Purpose, People and the Reality of Rural Allied Health
What does it take to build an Allied Health business where distance, access and workforce challenges are part of everyday life?
In this episode, Cathy speaks with Annie Jump, Speech Pathologist and founder of Gidgee Speech Therapy, about building and leading an Allied Health business in rural New South Wales.
Growing up in remote communities shaped Annie’s belief that people deserve access to healthcare, no matter their location. It is a purpose that continues to influence how she builds her team, designs roles and makes decisions about the future of the business.
Annie shares the realities of rural service delivery, her approach to creating a high-trust team, and why autonomy still needs accountability.
Topics covered on rural Allied Health, people and sustainable growth:
Rural Allied Health – How distance, access and community needs shape service delivery and business decisions.
People and culture – Building a high-trust team, hiring for culture and creating roles around people’s strengths.
Sustainable growth – Navigating NDIS change, exploring diversification and building a business that is less dependent on its owner.

Rerun: Project Management for Allied Health Business Owners – Turning Ideas Into Action
A strong culture is not just about how a team feels. It is also about how people work together, communicate, learn and follow through.
In this rerun episode, Cathy Love chats with Regina Jean-Francois about the systems, project management habits and team mindset that help turn ideas into action.
They explore how clear workflows create accountability, why everyone needs to contribute to the system, and how a growth mindset helps teams adapt to new ways of working.
Topics covered on inspiring culture, accountability and systems:
Shared accountability – Why every team member needs to understand their role and deliver their part.
Systems that support people – How clear workflows reduce confusion and keep work moving across a remote team.
A culture of learning – Why willingness to learn, adapt and persist is essential as businesses grow.
