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 Cerebral helps with

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Physiotherapy

Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.

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.

Group Programs

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Holiday Therapy Blocks

Intensive therapy programs offered during school holidays.

Family Support

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

School Support Services

Therapy and consultation services provided in school settings.

Aquatic Physiotherapy

Water-based physiotherapy services.

Mollii Suit

Specialized therapy using Mollii Suit technology.

Assistive Technology

Assessment, recommendation and training in tools, devices or software that help people with disability participate more independently in daily life. This can range from communication apps and adaptive cutlery to wheelchairs and environmental controls.

Positioning & Mobility Equipment

Equipment and support for positioning and mobility needs.

Consultancy Services

Professional consultation services for therapy and support planning.

Our approach

CPEC uses a collaborative team approach (Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist, Clinical Mentor) to actively problem-solve ways to embed therapy into everyday life at home, school or in the community. The service focuses on supporting the whole person to live life on their own terms and empowering children, adults and families. Community education is a major focus, with the team working together to teach healthy life patterns and help individuals become active participants. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, with therapy integrated into meaningful daily activities rather than isolated clinic-based work.

Working with families

CPEC values the journey it takes with families and learns about each individual on a personal level to support families to grow together. Community education is a major focus of the service, with an emphasis on educating families and teaching healthy life patterns. The team works with families to embed therapy into everyday life in home, school and community settings. Parents and carers are supported as partners in the therapy process.

Meet the team

The team consists of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists and Clinical Mentors working collaboratively. CPEC is an established centre with over 22 years of experience in therapy service supporting individuals with disabilities. The team actively problem-solves together to tailor support to each individual's needs. Current recruitment indicates the centre employs qualified professionals in these allied health disciplines.
