Whether you’re seeking an assessment before applying for funding or looking for the right professional to support an existing plan, consulting an NDIS-registered speech therapist can provide clarity at different stages of your NDIS journey. Consider engaging our speech therapists, particularly when:
Unlike a regular speech therapist, our NDIS-registered speech therapists are approved to deliver supports under the NDIS and can work with participants whose funding arrangements require them to use a registered provider. While non-registered speech therapists may also support NDIS participants depending on how their plan is managed, our clinicians have experience working within the NDIS framework and can provide guidance around assessments, reports, plan reviews and changing support needs. This can make it easier to understand what information may be needed and how speech pathology supports can fit within your NDIS plan.

No, you can consult an NDIS-registered speech therapist before your NDIS funding has been approved. An initial assessment may help document your communication or swallowing needs and provide information that can support an NDIS application. If you already have an NDIS plan, your speech therapist can also discuss your goals and help you understand what assessments, reports or supports may be relevant to your plan. Funding arrangements will determine how the cost of services is covered.
Yes, speech therapy is commonly covered by the NDIS when communication, language, or swallowing difficulties are linked to a participant’s disability and included in their goals. Funding may support assessments, therapy sessions, reports, and caregiver guidance depending on the individual plan. A speech therapist can help align therapy recommendations with NDIS goals to ensure support is appropriate and ongoing.
Speech therapy is typically funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living category of an NDIS plan. This category supports therapies that build skills for everyday participation, independence, and communication. A speech therapist can help families understand how this funding is used and what supports may be claimed.
Our NDIS-registered speech therapists support children and adults of all ages, from early childhood through to older adulthood. We work with people with a wide range of disability-related communication and swallowing needs, tailoring our support to their age, abilities, goals and everyday environment. This includes children with developmental or lifelong disabilities as well as adults living with acquired conditions that affect communication or swallowing.
To access NDIS-funded speech therapy, the participant must have an active NDIS plan with funding that supports speech therapy. Families can self refer or be referred by a GP, paediatrician, educator, or support coordinator. A speech therapy provider can also help guide families through the intake and goal setting process.
