Funding Options

 

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

We are an NDIS Registered Provider and claim under Capacity Building Supports in line with the NDIS Price Guide.

Our NDIS registration covers Therapeutic Supports. We can provide speech pathology services to children under the age of 9 who are plan or self-managed. We do not provide coordination or key worker services, but work as part of your child’s team to support communication and/or mealtime goals alongside families, educators and other professionals.

We aim to provide:

  • Clear communication about services and funding
  • Evidence-based, clinically appropriate therapy
  • Flexible, family-centred support

If you’re unsure whether our services are right for your child or how they fit within your plan, we’re always happy to talk you through your options.
