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

National 360 takes a person-centred, strengths-based approach that is driven by each child's goals and integrated with their family, carers and support networks. Therapy sessions are delivered in natural environments including homes, schools, clinics and care settings, tailored to the individual's needs. The organisation focuses on measurable progress and functional improvement, helping children engage meaningfully in everyday life. Sessions are collaborative and holistic, supporting the whole child within their everyday contexts rather than isolated therapy activities.

Working with families

National 360 collaborates closely with families, carers and support networks to build partnerships that support inclusion, participation and independence. Your child's therapy is integrated with family goals and priorities, ensuring the whole support system works together. The intake team communicates with you from the outset to ensure you're matched with the right therapist, and therapy plans are developed in partnership with you. As a community-based service, the organisation works in natural environments like your home and your child's school, keeping you involved at every step.

Meet the team

National 360 employs experienced occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, and behaviour support practitioners across its clinics. The team is supported by Clinical Practice Advisors who are subject matter experts in their fields, providing mentoring and specialist consultation. Senior clinicians and an Allied Health Manager oversee clinical governance, with supervision and professional development structured to support therapists in delivering high-quality care. The organisation is led by founder Heidi Long, an occupational therapist with over 25 years' health sector experience.
