Cost & funding

Fees depend on the service, the provider and the length of the session. Ask each provider for their fees before the first visit.

Medicare pays a rebate for some speech therapy, OT and dietitian sessions when your GP writes a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and a referral first. Some private health extras policies pay part of the cost of speech therapy and OT.

If your child has an NDIS plan that includes these supports, you can use it. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use providers that are not NDIS registered. If the NDIA manages your plan, you must use registered providers.

What to expect at the start

  1. Talk and play

    The speech pathologist asks about your child's health and development, then plays with your child to see how they understand and use words.

  2. Assessment

    They may use some tests and check inside your child's mouth. Bring any reports from your GP, paediatrician or hearing tests.

  3. Goals together

    You decide together what to work on first. You can ask for a written report and therapy plan.
