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.

Our approach

SPOT Paediatrics uses a neuro-affirming, interest-based approach where sessions are shaped by what delights your child and brings them enjoyment. Therapists plan around your child's strengths and interests so they feel comfortable being themselves and build genuine connections with their clinicians. Sessions may look like play, observation, and individualised assessment, with 'playing your child's way' and following their lead providing significant information about their skills and abilities. The clinic is designed as a welcoming, family-centred space with child-friendly play areas and calming colours where children thrive and feel at ease. Positive outcomes are achieved through a consistent, collaborative approach that respects each child's unique abilities, interests, and pace.

Working with families

Parents are invited to be part of your child's therapy sessions as partners in progress, since you play a crucial role as your child's first teacher. You'll receive regular updates, practical strategies to try at home, and follow-up support so you're always in the loop. Clear, transparent communication about fees and funding options is provided upfront so you know exactly what to expect. The clinic takes time during initial contact to talk through your needs, explain how they work, and address any concerns before your first visit, creating a stress-free and reassuring experience.

Your first visit

Your first contact begins with an easy initial phone call with your therapist, who will learn about your concerns, goals, areas to focus on, and your child's strengths and interests. After this call, your therapist creates a tailored plan for the in-clinic initial session, which may include play-based observation, individualised assessment, and information gathering through discussion. Some children may have formal standardised assessment while others benefit from a less structured approach. Following the initial consultation, you'll receive a brief written summary with findings and recommendations. If you'd like to get a feel for the space first, there's also a meet-and-greet option available.
