What ages does Eat Talk Play work with?

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

At Eat Talk Play, the approach centers on research-backed early intervention designed specifically for young children during their most critical developmental years. Sessions are built on the core values of connection, intention, and education, with treatment plans thoughtfully crafted to meet each child's unique needs and their family's circumstances. The practice is autism-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming, believing in listening to and learning from the communities they serve. Therapists work collaboratively with families and educators, providing expert guidance alongside practical strategies that parents and carers can use to support their child's development. The focus is on building essential skills in communication, motor development, and social-emotional growth that create strong foundations for school readiness and lifelong success.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to Eat Talk Play's philosophy, with connection and collaboration at the heart of their work. The practice is committed to empowering parents, carers, and educators with expert guidance and practical strategies tailored to each child's unique needs. Communication with families is thoughtful and intentional, with every recommendation carefully considered to support both the child and their family unit. Working together with families ensures children receive the right support and helps build strong foundations for development. The provider values partnership with families and the broader community as essential to creating positive outcomes.
