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 Talk helps with

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Early Childhood Teacher

Early childhood teacher services as part of their therapy offerings.

Therapy Assistants

Support delivered by trained Allied Health Assistants under the supervision of a registered therapist. Assistants help implement therapy programs, practise skills with clients and provide increased frequency of support, making therapy more accessible and consistent.

Little Learners Group

Cooking Groups

Group-based cooking activities for children.

Social Groups

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.

Tiny Talkers

Get Set, Prep!

Handwriting

Assessment and therapy for children who struggle with forming letters, maintaining pace or producing legible written work. Delivered by an occupational therapist, it addresses fine motor skills, pencil grip, visual-motor integration and the physical act of writing.

Telehealth

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Our approach

Talk Plus uses a family-centred, play-based approach focused on helping children learn, play, develop friendships and participate in everyday activities. Sessions take place in a relaxed, welcoming environment set in a beautiful house surrounded by natural light and trees. The team works in partnership with families to provide individualised support tailored to each child's needs. Whether your child needs a short burst of therapy or more ongoing support, the focus is on helping them achieve their best and build foundations for their future. Warm and caring connections guide all interactions, creating a friendly atmosphere where children feel comfortable and supported.

Working with families

Talk Plus operates as a family-centred service, working in partnership with parents and carers throughout your child's therapy journey. The team communicates with families to understand their child's needs, goals and individual circumstances. Parents and carers are integral to the support process, with the centre focused on helping your child and family together rather than in isolation. Regular contact and collaboration with the Client Care team ensures families stay informed and involved in planning and decision-making. This partnership approach means your input and observations about your child are valued and shape the direction of therapy.
