Book your initial consultation

Assessment, if needed
If a formal assessment is required — for an NDIS application, a plan review, or to establish clear therapy goals — we complete a thorough evaluation and provide a written report. This can be taken directly to your planner or support coordinator.

Frequently asked questions about NDIS speech therapy
“I’m not sure speech pathology is in my plan.”
Look for Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living in your plan document. If it’s there, speech pathology can usually be funded from it. Still unsure? Contact us and we’ll help you check before you commit to anything.
“My child is under 9. Can they still access NDIS speech pathology?”
Yes. Children under 9 can access support through the NDIS Early Childhood Approach, often without needing a formal diagnosis. A speech pathology assessment can actually support the NDIS application process. We’re experienced in working with families navigating this for the first time.
“I’m worried about running out of funding.”
We plan sessions in line with your available budget and flag early if we think funding is running short. We’d rather have that conversation with you upfront than leave you scrambling mid-year.
“I’ve never done online therapy. Will it actually work?”
Most of our clients ask this before their first session. By the second or third, they’ve stopped asking. Online speech therapy is just as effective as in-person — and for many children and adults, being in their own environment actually helps. We guide you through setup step by step.
What does NDIS fund for speech pathology?
Speech pathology is funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. This can cover initial assessments, ongoing therapy sessions, and written reports. What is funded depends on your individual plan and goals.
Do I need a referral to book?
No. You can book directly online without a referral from a GP or paediatrician.
How does invoicing work?
For plan-managed participants, we invoice your plan manager directly after each session. You do not pay anything upfront. For self-managed participants, we provide detailed invoices for you to submit through the NDIS myplace portal.
Can you provide reports for NDIS applications and plan reviews?
Yes. Our speech pathologists complete assessments and write reports suitable for NDIS access requests, planning meetings, and plan reviews. Contact us to discuss turnaround times and what type of report you need.
What if speech pathology isn’t currently in my plan?
You can request a plan variation or raise it at your next plan review. A speech pathologist’s report documenting the need for therapy can support that request. We can help you with this.
Do you work with both children and adults?
Yes. We support NDIS participants of all ages — from young children accessing support under the Early Childhood Approach through to adults with acquired communication disorders.
Is online speech therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. The evidence shows that online delivery as equally effective for speech pathology across almost all presentations. It also removes location as a barrier, meaning you can access the right therapist regardless of where you are in Australia.
