Frequently Asked Questions

What does a speech pathologist do?

Speech Pathologists assess and treat difficulties related to speech, language, voice, communication, and swallowing. They work with people across the lifespan, from early childhood to aged care.

Is speech therapy only for children?

Not at all. While many children benefit from early intervention, adults and older individuals also receive support for stroke recovery, progressive conditions, or swallowing issues.

Do I need a referral for speech pathology services?

No referral is required for NDIS or private services. However, some funding programs (like Medicare or DVA) may require one.

Can you provide speech therapy at home or in aged care?

Yes. Our mobile therapists can visit homes, schools, or residential aged care facilities to provide therapy in familiar environments.

Is this service available under the NDIS or aged care packages?

Yes. We’re NDIS registered and also support Home Care Package clients. We assist with reports, therapy plans, and progress reviews to meet funding requirements.
