Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

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.

Speech (Sounds and Words)

Support for children to learn how to say sounds and words clearly, improving pronunciation and confidence.

Stuttering

AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication)

Our approach

The approach is strengths-based, family-centered, and evidence-based, with a focus on empowering children and families to reach their potential. Sessions draw on a range of methods including Sounds-Write Synthetic Phonics, Hanen More Than Words, LAMP, PECS, and the Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme. Therapy is delivered flexibly across multiple settings—clinic, schools, preschools, home, or online—tailored to each child's communication needs. The team is committed to placing the child at the centre of all practice, supporting their autonomy and learning across all areas of speech and language development.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the approach, with the team committed to providing ongoing support and family guidance throughout the therapy process. Parents and carers are engaged from the initial consultation onwards, where treatment options are discussed and personalized for each child. The flexible delivery model—including home visits and preschool/school sessions—allows therapists to work within the child's natural environments and support families in their own settings. This ensures parents are equipped with strategies and knowledge to support their child's communication development beyond individual therapy sessions.

Your first visit

The first appointment begins with an initial assessment and consultation where the therapist learns more about what you're looking for. During this session, the therapist will assess your child's communication needs and discuss personalized treatment options with you. You'll have the opportunity to decide if the therapist is the right fit for your family before moving forward. Following this, the team works with you to set goals and then begins therapy sessions with regular progress tracking. This is followed by ongoing support and family guidance as your child progresses through their speech pathology journey.
