Helping people living with communication and swallowing difficulties to reach their full potential.
Based at the City West and Elizabeth clinics, the speech pathology service offers assessment and treatment for children, youth, and adults. Services are delivered by Speech Pathology students under the supervision of certified and experienced Speech Pathologists.
We deliver services that are flexible and family-centred, which may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Speech Pathology for Children
As part of an interdisciplinary service, the Speech Pathologist will work with the important people in your child’s life (for example families, carers, teachers, and other therapists) to share goals, progress and strategies. Our Speech Pathologists can also provide opportunities to link in with other members of our expert team if the need arises.
We can work with you and your family, to support your child to build new skills and develop strategies for the following:
- Early communication development

- Language delays/ disorders
- Phonological awareness
- Difficulties with spelling, writing and reading comprehension
