If your child is not reaching language milestones, is difficult to understand, or seems frustrated when communicating, a speech pathology assessment can provide clarity. Early intervention makes a significant difference. If you're unsure, a free consultation is the best first step.
Yes. We offer telehealth appointments to suit your schedule and location. Telehealth sessions are conducted via a secure video platform and are equally effective for many types of therapy.
We see NDIS plan managed and self-managed clients. Medicare rebates are also available for speech pathology through a GP Management Plan (Chronic Disease Management plan) and the M10 scheme (eligible for up to 20 sessions). Most private health funds also offer rebates for speech pathology under 'extras' cover.
This varies widely depending on the nature and complexity of the communication difficulty. Progress is reviewed regularly.
Yes, an assessment helps us gain a clear understanding of your child's current abilities and ensures therapy is tailored appropriately. If your child has had an assessment within the past 12 months, please let us know and email the report to us.
No referral is required to book an appointment. You can contact us directly to arrange speech therapy for your child.
Therapy sessions typically run for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your child's individual needs and goals.

Service Funding

We understand that every family's situation is different. Our team is here to guide you through your options and help you choose the most suitable pathway for your child and family.

NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to eligible children with disabilities or developmental delays. We provide therapy services to both Self-Managed and Plan-Managed NDIS participants.

Private Paying

Families are welcome to access our services privately without using funding. This option offers flexibility and immediate access to therapy.

Medicare

Your child may be eligible for medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan (previously known as an EPC plan). This plan provides access to up to 5 Medicare-rebated allied health sessions per calendar year.

Your child may also be eligible for additional sessions via the M10 pathway. The M10 pathway provides access to Medicare-rebated assessment and treatment sessions for children and young people under 25 years with an eligible condition. Families can access up to 20 Medicare-rebated therapy sessions in total.

Please speak with your GP to determine whether a referral is appropriate for your child.

Private Health Insurance

Many private health insurance policies include rebates for speech pathology services. Rebate amounts vary depending on your provider and level of extras cover. If your child is covered, you may be able to claim rebates for assessment and therapy sessions. We recommend contacting your health fund directly to confirm eligibility.
