  • Our approach

    Sessions are built around each child's individual strengths and interests, using evidence-based strategies to support real-world communication skills. The team creates a warm, welcoming environment where therapy feels natural and engaging—often like play with purposeful activities and toys. Sessions focus on helping children develop meaningful communication in ways that feel authentic to them, whether that's through early language development, vocabulary building, conversation practice, or tailored support for specific needs. A neurodiversity-affirming approach is central to autism services, celebrating each child's unique communication style. Parents receive notes after visits and are supported with tools and strategies to continue learning outside sessions.

  • Working with families

    Communication with parents is a priority, with notes about progress emailed promptly after each visit. The team works collaboratively with parents and schools to support each child's development, and parents receive tools and strategies to help their child outside of sessions. Questions and concerns are heard, addressed, and explained clearly. The clinic takes a family-centred approach, guiding parents through the process with care, clarity, and compassion while supporting their involvement in their child's therapy journey.

  • Meet the team

    The team includes qualified speech pathologists such as Jade Williams, Rebecca Thomas, Molly Sloss, Sarah Tregillis, Caitlyn Mares, Christine McKibbin, Amelia Patamia, Suong Nguyen, Annelise Willox, Michael Green, Brooke Rankin, and Dhanushi Munasinghe.

The clinic also offers an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) Program and Key Worker Service, providing additional support options. Team members are described in parent reviews as professional, approachable, and kind, with attention to detail and genuine care for each child's progress.

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.
