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

Therapy is delivered in a neuroaffirming, play-based environment that values individuality and each child's unique way of learning. Sessions use play as the foundation to build trusted relationships and create a space where children feel safe, calm and happy—the essential building blocks for developing curiosity and communication skills. Therapists guide learning through unstructured, free play where children are in control of their ideas, movements and what they want to explore, which opens doors to more opportunities for interaction and communication. The approach is relationship-focused and family-oriented, with therapists customising materials and strategies to suit your child's specific needs and sensory preferences. Sessions happen in clinic spaces filled with a variety of toys and resources, though online and school-based options are also available depending on what works best for your family.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the approach. Before therapy begins, the therapist discusses what is important to your child and family, and collaborates on goals together. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to attend sessions, learn therapy strategies, and transfer these into home practice to create sustainable outcomes beyond the therapy room. The therapist also engages in discussions with teachers and other professionals involved in your child's care when needed. Your family will be supported throughout your child's developmental journey, with the aim of empowering you to support your child at home.

Your first visit

Your first visit aims to be relaxed and welcoming in a cozy, supportive environment. The therapist will assess your child through play-based activities with lots of toys and choices available, rather than formal testing alone. Assessment combines standardised tools, informal observations during play and interactions, and discussions with you and any teachers involved in your child's life, tailored to your child's individual presentation. After the session, the therapist will analyse the findings and share these with you, then discuss whether ongoing therapy is needed and what goals matter most to your family. The whole experience is designed to be person-centred and comfortable for both you and your child.
