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?

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

What Speech helps with

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy tailored to an individual's specific goals and needs. Delivered by a qualified therapist, individual sessions provide a private, focused space to work through personal challenges at a pace that suits the person.

Group Programs

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Holiday Group Programs

Specialized group programs offered during school holidays.

Assessment

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

School-age Services

Services targeting school-age children including reading, writing, and social communication skills.

Early Intervention

Support in the early years (usually under 7) that helps children with developmental delay or disability build communication, movement, social and everyday-living skills while their development is most responsive.

Parent Education and Support

Educational programs and support for parents to help their children's communication development.

Early Literacy Programs

Programs focused on early literacy skill development for young children.

Workshops

Professional development, skill-building or information sessions delivered to groups of parents, carers, educators or practitioners. Workshops cover topics such as behaviour support, communication strategies, sensory processing and mental health.

School-based Services

Allied health and therapeutic services delivered directly within a school setting to support students with disability, developmental differences or learning difficulties. This model reduces disruption to schooling and allows therapists to collaborate with teachers in the child's natural learning environment.

Our approach

At Speech For Kids, therapy is about having fun and developing relationships with families to build children's confidence in communicating and interacting with others at home, school and in the community. The provider works with a broad range of approaches including individual therapy, group programs, workshops, and school-based services. Sessions are tailored to each child's needs, whether that's learning first words, making speech sounds, developing sentences, improving literacy or building social communication skills. The philosophy centres on talking and listening together to support children and young people across different ages and developmental stages. Family involvement is built into the therapy model, with an emphasis on supporting parents to help their children learn both in sessions and at home.

Working with families

Parent education and support is a core pillar of the Speech For Kids approach, with dedicated programs addressing common parent questions about language development, behaviour, school readiness and social skills. The provider recognises that families need support to understand their child's communication needs and offers workshops and guidance to help parents assist their children. Therapy is designed to build family confidence, and the service works collaboratively with families and the broader community including schools, early childhood centres and other allied health services. Communication extends to providing letters for doctors, reports for schools and assessments as requested by educators and families.
