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.

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

The approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning. Therapy is tailored to your child's individual strengths, needs and goals, then adapted based on how your child responds. Sessions are practical and engaging, with clear strategies you can take home to support progress in everyday life. The focus is on making therapy fun while keeping it functional—children work toward goals they can see themselves achieving, and your child's communication skills are developed across spoken, written and non-verbal channels.

Working with families

Parents and carers are active partners in therapy. You'll receive a detailed management plan that's clearly explained, and you'll work collaboratively with the therapist to support your child's progress at home using practical strategies. The team also collaborates with educators and other professionals where appropriate, ensuring your child receives consistent support across home and school environments. Communication and feedback are central to the approach—the practice actively seeks your input and uses it to improve outcomes.

Meet the team

The team is made up of qualified speech pathologists who are enthusiastic and dedicated professionals committed to helping children achieve their full potential. The practice is founded on sound clinical reasoning and stays up-to-date through specialised training, regular professional development and strong university relationships. The team has access to the latest assessment tools and resources, and holds specialised training in dedicated evidence-based programs including DIR Floortime, Hanen programs, PECS, the Nuffield Dyspraxia Program and the Lidcombe Program for stuttering.

Your first visit

A typical pathway begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's communication needs. Following this, you'll receive clear recommendations and a detailed therapy plan that's explained in straightforward terms. Your therapist will then work with you collaboratively on ongoing sessions focused on functional communication and learning. You'll be given guidance on strategies to use at home so that progress extends beyond the clinic and into your child's everyday life.
