  • Our approach

    Mustard Seed Kids takes an individualised, flexible approach to speech pathology. Every child and family is recognised as unique, with goals and strategies tailored to your specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Sessions are delivered in familiar environments—your home, childcare centre, kindergarten, or school—or online via telehealth when that works better for your family. The service draws on evidence-based practices including Hanen therapy, Sounds-Write literacy support, PROMPT stuttering therapy, and Social Thinking approaches. The philosophy centres on partnering with families and educators to support your child's communication development.

  • Working with families

    Mustard Seed Kids places collaboration with families at the centre of its work. Sessions are held in environments familiar to your child—home, childcare, kindergarten, or school—which supports practical, real-world communication practice. Vera works closely with families and educators to understand priorities and develop strategies that fit your child's everyday life. The service offers advocacy and case coordination with other therapists, teachers, and caregivers involved in your child's support.

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.
