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.

What Kids helps with

Psychology & Counselling

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

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.

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.

Autism Services

Ongoing therapeutic and practical support for autistic children and adults to build communication, social, daily living and self-regulation skills. Supports are tailored to the individual's strengths and goals and may be delivered across home, school and community settings.

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.

School Programs

Allied health and therapeutic services delivered directly within a school setting to support students with disability, developmental differences or learning difficulties. This model reduces disruption to schooling and allows therapists to collaborate with teachers in the child's natural learning environment.

School Consultations

Professional advice provided to school staff including principals, coordinators and teachers.

Parent Workshops

Workshops for parents.

Social Skills Group

Therapy and group programs that teach children and young people the skills needed to interact effectively with others — such as turn-taking, reading social cues, making conversation and managing conflict. Often delivered in small groups to allow real-life practice with peers.

School Readiness Program

Programs and assessments that prepare children for the transition to school by building the social, emotional, language and self-care skills needed to participate fully in a classroom environment. Often delivered by early childhood educators, occupational therapists and speech pathologists.

Motor Skills Program

Program focusing on motor skill development.

Our approach

Kids At Max operates from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on helping children reach their maximum potential in a supportive, relaxed environment. The team works collaboratively with each child and their family to develop skills that support success in social, emotional and behavioural areas. Sessions draw on evidence-based counselling and therapy, with services available in-clinic, at home, at school or via telehealth depending on what works best for your family. The clinic offers psychology, speech pathology and occupational therapy tailored to each child's individual needs and goals.

Working with families

Kids At Max emphasises family-centred support and works collaboratively with families to develop practical tools and skills. The team works together with the child and their family, acknowledging the importance of involving parents and carers in the process.
