President’s Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Communication, Speech and Performance Teachers Incorporation. The CSPT Inc. (formerly known as the Speech and Drama Teachers’ Association of Queensland Inc.; SDTAQ Inc.) prides itself on being the largest professional association for teachers of communication, speech and performance in Australia.
We have members from a range of backgrounds (metropolitan, regional and rural, throughout Queensland and interstate) and from a gamut of teaching situations (private studio, within the classroom or a mix of both). Many of our members teach one-to-one but students are also taught in small and large groups. Teaching foci include communication, speech clarity, voice production, public speaking, drama, text interpretation and performance to name a few. The diversity of our members’ interests and practices is valued and is a valuable offering to students.
This website aims to provide:
- general information about the CSPT Inc. and its activities
- access for members to teaching and learning resources and publications
- a means for members to interact and exchange ideas about effective teaching practices
- a Teacher Directory of members who wish to be referred for teaching and/or adjudicating
The site is one way for the CSPT Inc. to advance its main objective; to foster excellence in the teaching and learning of Communication, Speech and Performance. I trust you will find this site informative and useful.

Honorary President, CSPT Inc.
