From 1 March 2026, people under 25 with a referral from a GP, specialist or consultant physician can claim Medicare rebates for speech pathology for stuttering, speech sound disorders (including childhood apraxia of speech and dysarthria), and cleft lip and/or palate.
Developmental Language Disorder is not included. The standard rebate was $87.25 a session as at 16 February 2026. Providers set their own fees, so some out-of-pocket cost may remain.
Ask us when you book whether this applies to your child.

Your first visit
Every child is different. These simple ideas can help your family feel ready for the first appointment.
Think about your child's strengths, interests and any communication concerns you would like to discuss.
A favourite small toy or activity may help your child feel at ease during the visit.
If available, bring relevant referral details or previous reports. You can ask the clinic what is needed.
For parents and carers
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. We're here to make it easier.
You can generally enquire about private speech pathology without a referral. Some Medicare-funded pathways require an eligible referral. Please check eligibility with the clinic before relying on a rebate.
Your speech pathologist will usually discuss your concerns and your child's development, get to know your child and explain possible next steps. The assessment approach depends on your child's needs.
Telehealth is available for school-aged children only. Whether it suits your child also depends on their needs and the service being provided.
Keep the explanation simple and positive. You might say that you are visiting someone who helps children with talking, listening and communicating. Bringing a favourite toy can help.
It is okay to be unsure. You can describe what you have noticed and discuss whether an initial assessment may be appropriate.
Use the booking management link in your confirmation email if you need to cancel. Contact the clinic if you need help choosing a different time.
This applies to both initial and ongoing appointments. 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
Speech therapy is the current booking service. Other disciplines are shown as coming soon and cannot yet be booked through this portal.
