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.

What Young helps with

Child and Adolescent Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Psychological Assessment

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

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.

Speech and Language Pathology

Individual services and group programs providing assessment and support for children with complex communication needs.

Parenting Support

Guidance and skill-building for parents and carers to better understand their child's development, manage challenging behaviours and build a warm, secure relationship. Programs may be one-on-one or delivered in groups and draw on evidence-based frameworks tailored to the family's needs.

Eating Disorders & Weight Management

Individual services and group programs addressing eating disorders that affect the quality of life and well-being of children, adolescents and their families.

Gentle Yoga

Group programs offering yoga for every body in a safe and inclusive environment, nurturing to the body, mind and spirit.

Social Work

Practical and emotional support that helps families navigate services, funding, school and home challenges, connecting you to the right resources and advocating for your child.

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.

Professional Supervision

Structured support for practitioners to reflect on their clinical work, receive expert guidance and maintain professional standards. Supervision is required for many Allied Health and mental health professionals and supports safe, high-quality care.

Our approach

The provider combines knowledge of how the brain works with a variety of evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods to equip clients with tools to approach their challenges with understanding and confidence. Working with children and adolescents requires therapists with thorough knowledge of human development and skills to interpret how young clients make sense of the world. For complex needs, psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and social workers work together to appreciate the client's whole story and develop a personalised treatment strategy accordingly. Individual and group programs are offered across a range of areas including child and adolescent psychology, parenting support, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and eating disorders and weight management.

Meet the team

The team includes psychologists (including clinical, educational and developmental psychologists), occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, and a counselling psychologist director. Team members hold qualifications including Bachelor and Master degrees in psychology, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and social work, with several board-approved supervisors on staff. The team has been dedicated to improving client well-being through evidence-based therapies since the clinic's founding in 2008. Clients benefit from the diversity and collaborative approach of the interdisciplinary team across four clinic locations and a telehealth service.
