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?

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

Our approach

A Registered Music Therapist uses music intentionally to support a child's development, wellbeing, and connection with others through an evidence-based clinical approach. Each session is tailored to the child, using rhythm, melody, movement, and safe interaction to reach children in ways traditional therapies can't. The therapist works with the whole body and nervous system to build communication, regulate emotions, support motor development, and foster confidence. Whether through singing, drumming, co-creating sound, or simply listening together, sessions meet each child where they are and provide a space where therapy feels safe and progress can unfold.
