Who We Help

As dedicated NDIS speech pathologists, we work with both children and adults who have conditions affecting their ability to communicate, such as:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
Hearing loss or impairment
Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome
Developmental delays, intellectual disabilities
Physical disabilities and acquired neurological conditions from brain trauma, stroke, cancer, illness or injury

Stuttering, voice and speech sound disorders

We provide early intervention services for young children 0–7 years old via a family-centred, strengths-based approach that incorporates fun and play. We also care for older children, adolescents and adults who require speech therapy and communication skills development.

NDIS participants and private clients are welcome.

How We Work

Our NDIS speech pathologists will carefully evaluate your current capabilities to diagnose communication disorders and difficulties.

Assessing how you use your voice, speak, listen, understand, read, write and interact socially will help your NDIS speech therapist determine your potential to achieve your goals with the right communication supports.

Next, your qualified NDIS speech pathologist will provide individualised advice, treatment and support to you, your family members, support carers and other health practitioners.

Your speech pathologist may also recommend assistive technology aids, i.e., Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, to enhance your communication abilities.
