NDIS Speech Therapy Sydney

Speech pathology sits under Improved Daily Living (Capacity Building, line item 15_056_0128_1_3). NDIS funding can be used for:

I charge at or below the current NDIS Price Guide rate for metro Sydney. The same rate applies whether I come to your home, your child’s school, or we work via telehealth. No hidden fees.

I work across the Inner West, St George, Canterbury-Bankstown, and Eastern Suburbs. I visit homes, schools, preschools, and community hubs in Arncliffe, Tempe, Hurstville, Bankstown, Marrickville, Rockdale, Bexley, and Kogarah regularly. For participants anywhere in Australia, telehealth is available via secure video.

I deliver therapy in community settings because it works. Participants practice communication in the same environment where they need to use it. A child who learns a skill in my clinic room and never gets to use it at school has not really learned it yet. Home and school-based delivery closes that gap directly.

I speak English and Mandarin. For participants from Chinese-speaking backgrounds, I run sessions in English, Mandarin, or both. For other languages, I arrange TIS National interpreter bookings at no cost from the participant’s NDIS plan.

I write NDIS annual progress reports that document what was achieved, what the current functional level is, and what I recommend for the next plan period. These reports are required annually for children under 7 and available on request for all participants. They are written to NDIS evidence requirements and accepted by plan managers, LACs, and support coordinators.

NDIS participants often have a broader team of allied health providers and support workers involved in their care. Effective NDIS speech therapy supports independence, which means building communication skills that transfer into everyday life, not creating reliance on a therapist. I work alongside the participant’s support team rather than in a separate silo.

For participants with complex needs, I attend NDIS plan review meetings, participate in team meetings with support coordinators and LACs, and contribute written goal-setting recommendations. Progress notes are sent after every session and are available to carers and support coordinators. Collaboration between allied health disciplines, including occupational therapy and physiotherapy where relevant, produces better participant outcomes than each provider working independently. I refer to and accept referrals from other allied health providers as part of a participant’s broader plan.

Building communication independence is the core goal. Whether that means supporting an adult participant to communicate their needs in their community, helping a child navigate school transitions, or training support workers to carry communication strategies into home routines, the measure of success is what the participant can do in their daily life. Telehealth delivery via secure video is available for NDIS participants anywhere in Australia, including regional and remote areas where face-to-face allied health services are not available locally.
