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?

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

What Access helps with

Plan Management

A service in which a registered plan manager handles the financial administration of a participant's NDIS plan — processing invoices, tracking budgets and providing financial statements — giving participants choice and flexibility in how their funding is used.

Employment Support

Tailored Employment Support services that assist with skill development, build confidence, and connect participants to meaningful job opportunities.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Peer Mentor Program

Peer Mentor Program that pairs participants with supportive mentors who guide them in building confidence and developing skills through shared experiences.

Behaviour Support

A therapy approach that reduces challenging behaviours by understanding what is driving them and building supportive routines, environments and skills, so a child can take part more fully at home, school and in the community.

Gemiini Learning Systems

Innovative online videos and interactive tools using play-based learning to develop essential skills in speech, language, reading, social interaction, and daily life.

Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Support Coordination

Help navigating the NDIS — finding and connecting with the right service providers, understanding a plan, managing budgets and ensuring supports are working together effectively. A support coordinator acts as a guide and advocate to help participants get the most from their funding.

Therapy Assistants

Support delivered by trained Allied Health Assistants under the supervision of a registered therapist. Assistants help implement therapy programs, practise skills with clients and provide increased frequency of support, making therapy more accessible and consistent.

Early Childhood Early Intervention

Early Childhood Early Intervention services implementing the ECEI Key Worker Model where one therapist works with the participant instead of multiple individual therapists.

Working with families

The provider actively involves parents and carers as partners in the therapeutic process. Communication is direct, honest and easy, with staff regularly checking in with families about how services are going and what's working well. Parents are encouraged to participate in sessions alongside their child, and siblings are welcomed to join in when they wish. The approach recognises that therapy benefits the whole family unit, and the provider takes time to ensure parents feel comfortable, at ease and equipped with strategies to support their child at home. Feedback from families emphasises how staff communicate openly and work collaboratively to improve outcomes for the entire family.

Meet the team

The team includes Ralph, the Director, who has over 20 years of experience working with families, children and adults and launched Access Your Supports in February 2016. Marcus, the Chief Executive Officer, is a Physiotherapy graduate from the University of Queensland with strong leadership and continuous learning credentials.
