FAQs

Do I need a referral for therapy from my GP?

No. Simply contact the clinic to discuss your needs and arrange your appointment as necessary. Some clients may be eligible for partial Medicare rebates in which case a GP referral is required.

What does a Speech Pathologist do?

Speech pathologists support communication, feeding and swallowing needs from infancy through older adulthood. Across the lifespan, the focus shifts as developmental, educational, social and health needs change.

Do you support adults as well as children?

Absolutely! We work with clients across the lifespan, including adults with speech, language, voice, fluency, swallowing and communication changes due to neurological conditions or injury.

How long is each therapy session?

Therapy sessions are generally between 45 minutes and 60 minutes long depending on the needs of each client and the purpose of the appointment. Assessments generally take longer than an average therapy session.

How long will therapy take?

It is never easy to predict service length since many factors influence the success of therapy. Depending on the nature and severity of the difficulty, therapy could last from just a few weeks to a number of months. It may also be ongoing. Clients with complex needs tend to need longer term support. If this is the case, the management plan will be discussed and the number of therapy sessions agreed with a review date for future decision making.

Do you offer mobile and telehealth services?

Yes! We provide in-person support in our local area (Sutherland Shire, St George, Liverpool LGAs), in homes, preschools, schools, aged care and supported workplaces and we also offer Australia-wide telehealth services for accessible care no matter where you are.
