  • Your first visit

    At your first appointment, the friendly team takes time to listen carefully to your situation and explain the services available, fees, and how the clinic works. You'll feel clear and confident about which services are right for your child before your appointment begins. The psychologist will gather information about your child's concerns and background to understand their needs fully. For cognitive assessments specifically, the process is designed to be fun and relaxed, with activities presented as games rather than tests, and breaks provided as needed. The team ensures your child feels as calm and comfortable as possible throughout the entire initial process.

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?

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.
