What We Offer
Specialist services
We provide evidence-based speech pathology for children and young people aged 0 to 17 years. Our therapists work with each child's individual strengths, goals and learning style to make every session meaningful.
Language Development
Building vocabulary, sentence structure, and understanding. We address both receptive language (what a child understands) and expressive language (what they can say).
Literacy & Reading
Targeting phonological awareness, phonics, reading fluency and spelling. We work with schools to support children with reading difficulties or dyslexia.
Stuttering & Fluency
Evidence-based support for children who stutter, using approaches such as the Lidcombe Program. We focus on building fluency and positive communication experiences.
Social Communication
Supporting children to understand social cues, take conversational turns and build peer connections. Particularly valuable for children with autism or social communication differences.
Early Intervention
Timely support for toddlers and pre-schoolers showing delays in speech or language. Early identification leads to the best long-term outcomes — contact us if you have any concerns.

Child-centred from day one
Every session is built around your child — their interests, their pace and their goals. We make therapy something they want to come back to.
Ages 0 – 17
Play-based
Family-focused
Evidence-based
Every child develops at their own pace, but there are general milestones to be aware of. If your child is not saying first words by 12–18 months, not combining words by age 2, or is difficult to understand by age 3, it's worth seeking an assessment. There's no harm in checking early — in fact, the earlier the better.
No referral is required to access our services privately. However, a referral from your GP under a Chronic Disease Management Plan may allow you to access Medicare rebates for up to 5 sessions per calendar year. For NDIS participants who are self or plan managed, your plan funding can be used directly. Contact us and we'll help you understand your options.
This varies depending on the nature and severity of your child's needs. Some children make significant progress in as few as 6–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. At your initial assessment, your therapist will discuss realistic expectations and set measurable goals. Progress is reviewed regularly throughout.
Yes. We offer telehealth sessions delivered via a secure video platform, which can be an ideal option for families across Sydney and regional NSW. Telehealth has been shown to be highly effective for many areas of speech and language therapy. Contact us to discuss whether it is suitable for your child.
Please bring any relevant reports (previous assessments, school reports, paediatrician letters) and your child's NDIS plan if applicable. We'll send intake forms ahead of time so the appointment can focus on getting to know your child.
Yes. We accept clients who are NDIS self managed or plan managed. If you are unsure which management type applies to your child's plan, your Local Area Coordinator or Support Coordinator can assist. We are not currently accepting agency managed clients. Please contact us to discuss your situation.
