Hard to understand, even to close family members?
Having trouble with certain sounds or forming full sentences?
Struggling to express themselves, even when they know what they want to say?

You're not alone. We support families every day to understand their child's communication needs—and to make real, lasting progress from the comfort of home.

If any of these sound familiar, book an initial consultation today.

It’s been two years since we started speech therapy with Matthew Dubery at Care Speech Pathology and I couldn't be happier for my son on ASD. The convenience of being able to have sessions from home has been a game-changer for me. Matthew is knowledgeable, patient, and motivated and has empowered us with effective speech development strategies.Highly recommended.

Latichia G.

We are so very grateful to Sarah, she has been great with my daughter, we have had a few others before her and they have all been great would always recommend, the online set-up has worked so well with our busy schedules. Thank you for having this available.

Lydia P.

We are incredibly grateful for the work Sarah does with our 6-year-old son, Rupert, during his speech therapy sessions. Rupert can find it challenging to sit still and stay focused, but Sarah has an amazing ability to keep him engaged throughout their sessions. She makes Rupert feel truly heard and understood, and we've seen such a wonderful improvement in his speech since he started working with her.

Sarah has a warm, personable demeanor that has made her a perfect fit for our energetic and funny little boy. She has gone above and beyond in explaining things to us, ensuring we fully understand Rupert's progress and how we can support him at home. Her communication with us has always been clear and timely, and she is consistently on time for sessions. We couldn't ask for a better speech pathologist for Rupert—Sarah is truly exceptional at what she does.

Matthew has shown himself to be kind and caring and very professional.

Kate S.

I was looking for telehealth speech Pathologist for my daughter as wait times in our area are long and also I have found previously that my little one would get reluctant to get in the car to attend. So being that we don't have to rush out the house to be somewhere on time has made it so much easier on both of us.

I am so happy to of found Care speech and Sarah our speechy is so calm and great at getting my daughter back on track. My daughter looks forward to seeing Sarah and tells me what she is going to ask or tell her about before the appointments. Previous my daughter was not engaging in speech appointments at all, and its been so wonderful to see her connect with Sarah.

I would highly recommend Care Speech to any of my friends or any professionals that are looking to recommend to other families.

Liza P.

They were very knowledgeable in their field and helpful for me.

Chrystl Y.

I have nothing bad to say about Care Speech. I honestly didn't think Zoom sessions would help my son to speak but they sure have worked wonders. Matthew Dubery has been patient, kind, and persistent. Thanks Care Speech and Matthew.

After my stroke I was assigned a speech pathologist, Nicole, who displayed tremendous encouragement. The program was provided via Zoom. I have no hesitation in recommending Care.

Ann-Marie U.

Thank you Wanda
Your service and assistance provided has been absolutely stunning. We can not thank you enough for the time that you spend with Ollie in helping him to grow.

I just had the most amazing conversation with my son about a drawing that he had just done of driving and the visual representing a car. He would not have had the confidence or ability to share this prior to starting sessions with wanda, he was able to put some verbal with some sign language and a visual- truly fantastic, incredible and a magical moment to be captured.

Your service provided to us has been absolutely impeccable

Mehvish M.

Zackariya is loving his sessions with Wanda!! He has come such a long way I am so happy with how thr sessions are going and am enjoying seeing Zackariya progress so much 🥰

Jasmin D.

I love having weekly appointments with Wanda, one of the therapists care speech have. She understands my daughter and has given me and my great techniques to communicate with each other. Being non verbal has its challenges but I feel like Wanda knows just what to do to help over come these challenges.

Nicole M.

Justine is a wonderful speech pathologist, my son has been seeing her for a few months now and she is so patient and kind. I would highly recommend Justine to anyone... and have recommend her to many people I know.

Brendan R.

Nicole has been absolutely amazing with my 3 year old . Being online it can be absolutely torture for everyone involved but Nicole captivated a busy 3 year old and he has improved so much in his time with her thanks Nicole!

Geoff P.

My son Theo has been having speech therapy with Wanda over the last couple of months and the change has been amazing. I was slightly unsure of the online nature but the sessions were awesome and kept Theo engaged and looking forward to the next. Also as soon as Wanda felt Theo was ready to be discharged she said so without stringing us along and taking more money for extra session. 10/10 couldn't recommend highly enough.

Rania A.

I'm glad to found you ( Justine)

I'm indebted to you for your kind attention and support, and I will always be grateful for your positive contribution in my daughter life. Looking for so many years to come working with you for my daughter bright future. I can't thank you enough, I strongly recommend Justine for any parent needs help with their children.

Bella J.

I had the pleasure of having Nicole be my sons therapist. She was playful, fun, understanding and most importantly patient. My son isn’t the easiest child to work with but she always found a way. He has come leaps and bounds with his speech and we can’t believe how quickly he advanced!! Highly recommend!

Tracey M.

Tabitha Rouke is amazing! My son was diagnosed with ODD among other challenges last year and I had previously had no success in engaging him in Telehealth. Not only has Tabitha successfully engaged my son in all activities each session but it was made fun and he now looks forward to his sessions. I can not wait to see where this year brings us for his therapy. You are truely amazing Tabitha 💞 if you are looking for some one amazing then contact care speech, you will not be disappointed….

I highly recommend Care Speech Pathology, they literally just make everything so easy. Prior to using Care Speech Pathology, I had used a number of Speech Therapist services to support my child but had not had a lot of success. My child's school knew I was looking for an alternative to the local providers in our area so passed on the details for Care Speech Pathology. The team took the time to find out about my child and successfully paired my child with the most appropriate therapist. Katie is kind and patient and very personable, my child looks forward to each session with Katie and I love not having to travel to the appointment. The convenience of doing each session virtually is another tick 🙂

Elizabeth K.

Tabitha's professionalism & effective problem solving strategies has been extremely beneficial for my special needs son. A highly recommended service.

Simone I.

Tabitha is wonderful and has a great rapport with my son, who can be reluctant to cooperate. They have lots of fun in the sessions while getting down to business. Her communications with me are prompt and the content is thorough. I couldn't rate her, and her admin team, highly enough. I'm very pleased I found her.

Kate G.

We were trying to find a local Speech Therapist but the waiting lists were so long. With COVID and Telehealth appointments we thought we’d give Care Speech Pathology a try. We have been delighted with the service provided. A thorough assessment was completed. Intervention provided on a needs basis, rather than on a predetermined weekly or fortnight basis with ample resources to support the learning at home. We definitely lucked in with Tabitha. She is bubbly, engaging and very knowledgeable. Thank you for the support of our language journey.

Sandy J.

Absolutely amazing service! I have been working with Tabitha to help my little girl and she is so patient and flexible with us! I’m so astounded to have found a speech pathologist like her. She genuinely cares about my daughters steps to getting her speech more accurate. I’m just so happy! We are making progress slowly but assuringly (given my daughters capabilities of focusing)

I highly recommend every parent test this service out. 😀

Still not sure about online speech therapy?

We get it—some parents wonder if online therapy can really work for kids. Will it feel personal enough? Will my child stay engaged?

The truth is, many children actually thrive in online sessions.

Our therapists use HD video and high-quality audio so it feels like they’re right there with your child—clear, focused and easy to follow.

Frequently asked questions about speech pathology for children

Is online speech therapy suitable for toddlers and preschoolers?

Yes. Young children often respond especially well to online sessions—especially when they’re in a familiar environment. For this age group, therapy is focused on parent coaching, so you’ll play an active role in helping your child develop early communication skills through play, routines and everyday moments.

Will my child be able to stay engaged?

Sessions are designed to be short, fun and interactive. We use songs, toys, visuals, and tools like virtual backgrounds to keep your child interested—plus we’re trained in leading programs like Hanen®, which work beautifully via video.

What can I expect from my child’s first appointment?

Your therapist will get to know your child, assess their needs, and start building a tailored therapy plan. You’ll join the session too, so we can talk through your goals and answer any questions.

We’ll use fun, interactive tools—like games, visuals and props—to help your child feel comfortable and engaged. If your child is very young, we’ll guide you in how to support their progress between sessions.

You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of where your child is at—and what to do next.

How is online speech therapy different to in-person speech therapy?

In many ways, it isn’t! You’ll still receive:

Therapy from a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) registered with Speech Pathology Australia
Personalised, evidence-based therapy plans tailored to your child’s goals
Access to leading therapy methods including Lidcombe, Camperdown, Hanen, PEERS, Sounds-Write and more
The same high standards in planning, delivery, and clinical care as you’d expect in any in-person setting

And of course—no waiting rooms or travel.

How do I prepare for the first session?

It’s simple. All you need is:

A stable internet connection
A quiet, well-lit space
A computer, tablet or smartphone

If your child is used to having a parent or carer present during therapy, we recommend joining the session with them. If you'd like more tips, check out our article on preparing for your first session.
