What is NDIS Speech Pathology?
NDIS Speech Pathology is a registered support that helps people living with disabilities develop communication, language and swallowing skills. Whether you’re looking for a speech therapist in Australia, sessions may focus on understanding and using language, clarity of speech, literacy, or more comfortable eating and drinking.
Our Speech Pathologists are all Certified Practising Speech Pathologists (CPSPs) and work collaboratively with our broader allied health team to ensure coordinated care.

What to Expect from Your Speech Pathology Sessions
- Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive in-home or Telehealth assessment to understand your communication and swallowing goals.
- Plan: Your speech pathologist designs a practical plan aligned with your NDIS funding and personal priorities. Trust that there are clear next steps and homework between sessions.
- Sessions: Ongoing therapy sessions are delivered in your home, in your community or online for your comfort and convenience. Where helpful, parents, carers or support workers may be included so strategies are easier to use in everyday routines.
- Review: Progress is reviewed regularly, and plans are updated as you progress towards your goals.
Key areas we can work on during NDIS Speech Pathology sessions
Sessions are designed around the situations you are facing day to day. Depending on your location, you could be considering Ipswich speech pathology or a similar option elsewhere. Regardless, the approach is relevant and simple to carry into home, school, work or community routines.
Depending on your goals, support may include:
- Speech clarity and being understood: Practical strategies for clearer words and steadier speech in everyday conversations like phone calls, ordering food or speaking with teachers and support workers.
- Language and understanding: Support with following instructions, finding the right words and understanding what others are saying in group settings, appointments or the classroom.
- Social communication and participation: Help with turn-taking, staying on topic, reading social cues and building communication routines that support friendships and community participation.
- Literacy for daily life: Support with reading and writing skills used for school tasks, forms, messages and simple written communication.
- Swallowing support for mealtimes, when possible: Strategies that can make eating and drinking feel safer and more comfortable, including guidance for carers and support workers when helpful.
- Communication tools and alternatives: Support in using symbols, visual aids or technology-based communication options when speech is limited, especially since these additions let others understand your needs and choices clearly.

Understanding funding options for speech pathology
If your NDIS plan includes Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living funding, speech pathology services are usually covered. Whether you are plan-managed, self-managed or NDIA-managed, we can explain what is needed to get started and help coordinate with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager, when involved. You can refer yourself online or call 1300 731 733 for assistance.
On the other hand, other funding pathways may be available depending on your situation. This can include private health insurance (Extras cover may include speech pathology), Medicare-supported sessions through a GP Management Plan, where eligible, or support through compensable schemes such as WorkCover or motor accident insurance when applicable.
Similar to a physiotherapist in Glen Iris or an exercise physiologist in Gold Coast, speech pathology in your area may also be arranged privately in some situations. If you are unsure which pathway applies to you, our team can talk it through and point you in the right direction.
Book an appointment or make a referral.
The referral and booking process takes less than 5 minutes. We endeavour to respond to all enquiries and referrals the same day they are received, and in most cases, we are able to confirm an appointment time with you within 48 hours.
Whether you’re looking for a speech pathology professional or another allied health professional, like a physiotherapist Ashburton trusts, we can meet you where you are. Book an appointment today.
FAQs About NDIS Speech Pathology
What does a Speech Pathologist do?
A Speech Pathologist assesses and supports people with communication and swallowing difficulties. They can help you work on speaking, understanding language and literacy and eat more optimally.
Can I get Speech Pathology through the NDIS?
Yes. If communication or swallowing support is a goal in your plan, you can use your NDIS funding for speech therapy sessions.
Do you offer in-home and Telehealth appointments?
Yes. We provide therapy in your home, in your community or online, depending on your needs and preferences.
Do I need a referral?
You can self-refer or be referred by your GP, Support Coordinator or Plan Manager. Afterwards, an NDIS Speech Pathologist can provide personalised support for your communication goals, and there can also be clear strategies you can use between sessions.
Do you offer services in settings like schools or workplaces?
Yes. Appointments can be arranged in places that make sense for your goals, such as schools, workplaces or other community environments, as well as in-home or via Telehealth. This can help strategies fit the situations you’re constantly exposed to.
How long is the average waiting time to get an initial assessment?
We make it a priority to get back to you within the day. For most regions, first appointments are typically available anywhere from 48 hours to a week, with timing dependent on therapist capacity in your specific area. When you contact us, our team will talk you through the next available options and help organise a time that suits your schedule and support needs.
What is the difference between Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy?
Speech Pathology focuses on communication, language, literacy and swallowing support. On the other hand, Occupational Therapy concentrates on daily living tasks and participation at home and in the community. Lastly, Physiotherapy is about movement and physical function. When helpful, these services can work alongside each other to make support comprehensive.
Can I get assistance with reports for NDIS plan reviews or school support needs?
Yes. Where required, your speech pathologist can provide clear reporting that links progress to goals and daily participation, which can help support plan reviews or funding from schools and other services.
What role do families, carers or support workers play in sessions, and what can I practise between visits?
If you would like them involved, we can include family members, carers or support workers so everyone understands the speech pathology strategies being used. Between sessions, you will even be given simple practice steps that fit into real routines, such as short conversation tasks, daily reading practice or mealtime approaches, which can involve your support network.
Physio Inq NDIS Speech Pathologists create custom treatment plans to manage your specific communication challenges, whatever those challenges may be.
