Australian Stuttering Association
STUTTA exists to encourage and empower people who stutter to embrace their individual journeys — free from discrimination, full of possibility.
Who we are
STUTTA, trading as the Australian Stuttering Association, is a community built for and by people who stutter. We believe in education, advocacy, and authentic connection.
Whether you're someone who stutters, a family member, or a speech pathology professional — you belong here.
Through our Speak Freely initiative, we create a space for Australians (and others) who stutter to speak, network, and share their experiences.
We stand against discrimination of people who stutter based on the way they speak.
We provide information about therapy options and advocate for each individual's right to pursue or reject them.
We create space for allies — friends, family, employers — to learn how to truly support people who stutter.
Your voice. Your journey.
Community
Speak Freely is our flagship community program — safe, welcoming spaces where people who stutter can connect, share, and just… talk. No pressure. No judgment.
