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 MC helps with

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.

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.

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.

Psychology and 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.

Home Modifications and Access Solutions

Modifications including access solutions and assistive technology assessments to support independence in home environments.

Functional Capacity Assessments

A comprehensive assessment — typically conducted by an occupational therapist or allied health professional — that evaluates how a person's disability or health condition affects their ability to carry out daily tasks. The report is used to determine NDIS funding needs and plan appropriate supports.

Specialist Disability Accommodation Assessments

SDA assessments and reports in accordance with NDIS standards for housing solutions tailored to functional needs.

Supported Independent Living

Accommodation and daily living support for people with disability who need assistance to live as independently as possible. Support workers assist with personal care, household tasks, community participation and skill development.

NDIS Services

Help navigating the NDIS — finding and connecting with the right service providers, understanding a plan, managing budgets and ensuring supports are working together effectively. A support coordinator acts as a guide and advocate to help participants get the most from their funding.

Medicolegal Reports

Preparation of medicolegal reports for legal and compensation matters.

Living Suitability Assessments

Assessments of suitability of living arrangements.

Exercise Programs

Structured exercise programs for rehabilitation and health management.

Our approach

MC Occupational Therapy uses a client-centred approach that actively involves families and clients in assessment, problem-solving, and recommendations. Sessions are tailored to address each person's needs and goals holistically, considering how age, medical conditions, disabilities and other factors affect daily activities. The team uses evidence-based knowledge and applies recommendations to real-world situations, working collaboratively with clients and their support network to support independence and participation. The service focuses on creating empathetic and effective therapeutic relationships while generating practical, creative solutions that make life easier and more fulfilling.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the service model. The team works collaboratively with clients and their support network throughout assessment, problem-solving and the development of recommendations. Communication and coordination are facilitated by the clinical coordinator, who acts as a linchpin between families, therapists and the administrative team to ensure seamless care. Families are supported and accommodated regarding changes needed to enhance their child's independence and participation in daily activities, with the service addressing needs realistically within funding body criteria and limitations.
