  • Our approach

    Ability Action Australia delivers therapeutic supports using evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's goals and needs. The provider focuses on multidisciplinary care, with teams of health professionals collaborating to support as many needs as possible. Sessions combine face-to-face time with the clinician and non-face-to-face time for preparation, follow-up documentation and sharing updates with the child's support network. The provider emphasises understanding each child's needs fully and delivering the outcomes families desire, working to improve independence, development, mobility and overall wellbeing through responsive, respectful and empowering practice.

  • Working with families

    The provider values family involvement and communication with parents and carers. Clinicians share updates with the child's support network as part of non-face-to-face time following sessions. Parent testimonials highlight that clinicians empower families as parents, source additional services when needed, and provide knowledge and support to families. The Early Childhood Support (Key Worker) model is specifically designed to provide one point of contact who coordinates care and helps families navigate complex service systems, acting as a source of knowledge and support for the entire family.

  • Meet the team

    The provider has a growing national team of dedicated clinicians across multiple disciplines including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, and positive behaviour support practitioners. Clinicians are experienced in working with NDIS participants and people with disability. The organisation also employs therapy assistants at Level 2. All team members have access to ongoing professional development and are supported by the parent company MedHealth, which has expertise spanning more than 1,200 independent medical specialists across all major allied health disciplines.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
