  • Our approach

    At Therabees, therapy is play-based and tailored to each child's unique strengths, interests, and needs. Sessions are designed to be fun and engaging while remaining focused on real progress, whether that's improving communication, movement, or emotional wellbeing. The team takes a supportive, inclusive, and neuroaffirming approach, creating personalised therapy plans with clear goals for every child. Each service is delivered by experienced, qualified professionals who are passionate about making therapy meaningful and empowering. Sessions bring together the child's individual needs with evidence-based practice in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is woven into every step of therapy at Therabees. The team communicates openly with parents and carers to understand their concerns, goals, and the child's strengths and interests before creating a personalised plan. Parents are kept informed throughout the process, including receiving detailed results and next-step recommendations after assessments. The team also supports families in navigating funding options and can provide documentation to help with NDIS applications if needed. This collaborative approach ensures that therapy is tailored to the whole family's needs and circumstances.

  • Your first visit

    At your first appointment, your child will be assessed by an experienced, qualified professional from the relevant service. For assessments like Autism or ADHD, the initial session typically takes 2 hours on the day, with a follow-up results session provided within 2 weeks to discuss findings and next steps. The team will work with you to understand your child's strengths, interests, and needs, and will help you understand any rebate entitlements if applicable. You're welcome to book an initial enquiry call to discuss your child's needs and get clarity on what to expect. The goal is to create a personalised therapy plan that addresses your family's specific concerns 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.
