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 at Young Allied Health is tailored to each child's individual needs, preferences and interests. Sessions begin with a relaxed, play-based approach in the first appointment, where children become familiar with the therapist and setting through informal assessment and observation. The provider offers both speech pathology and occupational therapy in a comfortable, flexible environment designed to help children feel welcome. Treatment is guided by a philosophy that values family involvement and presumes competence in all clients—believing that what is believed about a child influences what they can achieve. This holistic approach considers the whole child, including their family, and works toward helping them reach their full potential across communication, development, and everyday occupations.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the practice philosophy, which is explicitly described as family-centered. Parents are included in goal setting, treatment planning, and care decisions from the outset, beginning with a structured parent interview at the initial consultation. The practice respects family wishes, aspirations, and beliefs, and recognises that each family is unique and different; therapy is offered in a flexible and sensitive way to meet the needs of individual families. Regular communication ensures parents understand their child's progress and are equipped to support learning at home.

Your first visit

The first appointment is structured as a relaxed information-gathering session to help your child become familiar with the therapist and the setting at their own pace. This initial consultation typically includes play-based observations, informal assessment, and a parent interview to understand your child's needs and background. Following this first appointment, a formal assessment is conducted to establish the most appropriate treatment plan for your child. You will receive a comprehensive written report after the formal assessment, which then informs whether your child will benefit from a series of therapy appointments booked on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
