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

Better Together Therapy offers collaborative, evidence-based therapy in a nurturing space designed to help you overcome challenges, build resilience, and discover your true potential. Whether working with a psychologist or speech pathologist, sessions are tailored to individual needs and developed into a personalized treatment plan. The therapists take time to get to know you or your child, unpack your goals, and work together to make the most progress. Treatment is adjusted as needed to ensure you're receiving the best care, with support available both in-person at the Essendon location and via telehealth.

Working with families

The team works collaboratively with you throughout your therapy journey and will liaise with your care team if relevant to ensure coordinated support. They welcome your involvement from the start, beginning with an initial chat to understand your needs and goals before the first appointment. Progress is monitored throughout treatment, and the team adjusts the plan as needed to ensure you're receiving the best care, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Your first visit

At your first visit, the therapist will take time to get to know you or your child and unpack your goals together. They'll use evidence-based treatment approaches to develop an individual plan tailored specifically to your needs. Before the first appointment, you'll have a brief chat with the team to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and ensure the right therapist match for you. This initial conversation helps the team understand what you're looking for and ensures you're working with someone who aligns well with your family's needs.
