Hannah Speedy

Hi, my name is Hannah and I am a Physiotherapist who graduated from the Australian Catholic University in 2025. I was excited to first join the team at Lifespan Therapies in November 2025 as an Allied Health Assistant and I am grateful to now continue my professional journey here as a physiotherapist.

During my time at Lifespan Therapies, I have developed a deep appreciation for collaborative, child-centred care. Working within this team has shown me how powerful it can be when families, therapists and children work together to achieve meaningful goals. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a particular interest in developmental delay, neurodevelopment and supporting children to build confidence in their movement and daily function. I strive to make therapy engaging, purposeful and fun with a strong focus on functional play and supporting participation in everyday life.

Before becoming a physiotherapist, I worked as a learn to swim instructor and nanny, which further sparked my passion for working with children and has shaped my warm, play-based and supportive approach to therapy. I really value having the opportunity to help children enjoy being a kid, celebrating both small and big wins.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me at the beach with my family, training for a half marathon, or enjoying a reformer pilates class with friends. I also love watching the footy and look forward to each Lions and Broncos home game.
