Questions parents ask
Does my child need a diagnosis first?
No. You're welcome to get in touch with a concern and no diagnosis at all. We'll talk through what you've noticed and suggest the best first step.
Is there Medicare funding for speech sounds?
Some children with speech sound difficulties may be eligible for Medicare-funded sessions. Ask us and we’ll check what applies to your child.
Can we claim the cost back?
Often, yes — through private health extras (claimed on the spot in clinic), Medicare with an eligible GP plan, or the NDIS. Our Fees & funding page explains each option.
