Do I need a referral?
No. Although you are welcome to bring a referral from your GP or Paediatrician along with you, a parent or client can refer themselves to see us.
My child can be tricky with new people and places, what if it doesn't work?
We are a child, family and disability friendly space. We understand that sometimes things don't go to plan. We are flexible and caring and can change the plan, place, type or method of therapy to suit you and your child. We also encourage you to fill in a questionnaire before attending your first appointment so we can have some of your child's favourite and motivating things available. Always feel comfortable to talk to us about how to make your child feel regulated and comfortable before or during sessions.
How will we know where to start?
During the first and second session we discuss skills, observe and assess skills and develop goals together that are going to prove most beneficial for the client and family. Goals will be based on your own concerns, information regarding the assessment and will always consider how those goals will develop outside of the clinic setting.
Are you NDIS registered?
Yes and no. We are registered to see clients who have an NDIS plan and over 7 years of age. This means you can be agency, plan or self-managed and we can provide a service to you. However, we are not registered to see children under 7 years of age at this stage. This means that if your child has an ECEI plan you will need to be either plan or self managed in order to access a service from us.
Will I get a medicare rebate?
It is possible to obtain a GP Plan from your doctor which allows you up to five Speech Pathology sessions in a calendar year with a rebate of approximately $55. It is important to discuss this with your GP and have it sent to the clinic before your initial appointment.
Will I get a health fund rebate?
Most health funds offer some rebate on Speech Pathology sessions, contact your health fund for further information . We are registered with all major health funds.
Where are you?
We are located in Goodsoil coworking which is the old Child Health centre in Kingston. Our address is 29 John St, Kingston.
Where do I park?
