Sessions are tailored to support children's physical, sensory, cognitive, and emotional needs in a functional and personalised way. For children, this may include developing play skills, fine motor skills, and emotional regulation. Therapy is designed to be practical and relevant, supporting real-life outcomes across home, school, and community settings. All occupational therapists are AHPRA-registered and experienced in working with individuals with a wide range of needs.

  • Your first visit

    The first appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and goals.

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.
