  • Our approach

    Early Start Australia uses evidence-based therapy approaches delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, dietitians and physiotherapists. The team works alongside parents to help children meet their development goals, providing tailored strategies and sharing information throughout the therapy journey. Sessions are designed around each child's individual needs, and the provider emphasises early intervention across all stages of childhood to achieve better long-term outcomes. The therapeutic approach is holistic, focusing on helping children and families thrive across daily life, with treatment plans developed collaboratively to address each child's unique strengths and challenges.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to Early Start Australia's approach. The team works directly with parents and the people around the child to support development across everyday life. Parents are involved in developing the treatment plan, and the team shares information and provides evidence-informed advice to help families achieve their goals and enjoy better outcomes. Regular communication and collaboration with parents and carers are built into the therapy journey to ensure strategies support the child in their daily routines and environments.

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.
