  • Our approach

    Orthophonie Sydney supports children and adolescents with speech, language, literacy and numeracy difficulties, with particular expertise in serving bilingual and multilingual children. The speech pathologists are native French speakers who are fully bilingual in French and English, often multilingual, giving them an in-depth understanding of the specific needs of children growing up in bilingual or multilingual contexts. This approach recognises that a child's true language capabilities may be underestimated if assessed in only one language. The practice offers both face-to-face and online sessions tailored to individual needs. No doctor referral is necessary to access their services, and Medicare or health fund rebates may apply.

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.
