NDIS funding and speech pathology

Can I use my NDIS funding for speech therapy?

Speech pathology is recognised by the NDIS as a type of therapy support. Whether your speech therapy can be funded will depend on your individual NDIS plan, funding arrangements and the relevant NDIS funding criteria.
ClearConvo can provide speech pathology services to NDIS participants, subject to the participant's funding arrangements and the suitability of our service.

Your NDIS funding may be:

Self-managed
You can choose eligible supports provided by your chosen provider.
Plan-managed
Your plan manager can manage payment for eligible supports provided by your chosen provider.
NDIA-managed
You generally need to use an NDIS-registered provider for supports that require registered providers.
If you're unsure whether your funding arrangements allow you to access ClearConvo, contact us before booking and we'll help clarify the next step.

Who can access NDIS speech therapy?

Children

Speech, language, social communication, literacy and other communication needs can affect learning, relationships and participation at home and school.

Teenagers

We support teenagers with communication needs including social communication, speech, language, literacy and communication associated with neurodivergence.

Adults

Speech pathology can support adults with communication difficulties affecting everyday life, work, relationships and community participation.

Families and carers

Where appropriate, therapy can include practical strategies and education to help communication skills carry over into everyday life.
Our approach is individualised. We don't assume that everyone with the same diagnosis or disability needs the same type of speech therapy.

Andrea Wilson has done so much to help my autistic son. I cannot overstate how much she has helped him. Andrea is simultaneously a skilled professional and a caring therapist. She methodically identified my son’s problems, then systematically coached him. The way in which Andrea improved his self-awareness and his ability to function was something to behold. I am forever grateful for Andrea’s interventions. I’m so glad I found ClearConvo. If you are looking for a highly skilled and caring therapist I sincerely recommend that you use ClearConvo.

Andrea is the most amazing speech pathologist we have ever come across. Andrea is very organised, professional, caring and courteous - and always goes above and beyond.

Both my boys (aged 6 & 12) are ASD - level 2/3 - they are reluctant learners and Andrea has been able to work with their idiosyncrasies, often having to quickly change her plans and think outside the box, yet Andrea has always manged to do this without ever getting flustered.

Andrea has shown a level of care not only for my children - but also for me as I parent, that we have not experienced in our 9 years of therapy.

Andrea is always very prompt in responding to requests and has provided reports that have far surpassed expectation. In fact, I have had other therapists comment on how amazing they are.

In a one hour session with my eldest child, Andrea was able to identify and confirm literacy issues that no other "professionals" have been able to identify.

I highly recommend Andrea and ClearConvo to anyone needing speech pathology. You won't regret using her. Andrea has absolutely changed our lives. Thank you

Andrea is extremely caring, dedicated and knowledgeable. She has taken the time to build a relationship with our son, ensuring he remains engaged during the sessions, and is happy to practice at home. He has made amazing progress since we started to see her. She is always looking for the latest evidence-based methods to ensure her patients are getting the most up to date care and takes the time to explain the reasoning behind the methods. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a speech therapist who will go above and beyond for her patients.

English is my second language. I have been leaving in Australia for over a decade and I wanted to soft up my accent, as it would impact on my business career.
I was like to have Andrea to help me to improve my English pronunciation. She is a very organised and dedicated professional, working with excellent quality of home practice material including videos that she had recorded.
I definitely recommend Andrea for accent modification.

We were referred to Andrea by a mutual friend and from the very first day we had a positive feeling about her approach towards our son. Andrea is organised, courteous and provides therapy in a very caring way. She doesn’t race against the clock instead spends quality time both with the child and the parent. She taught us (parents), on how to include speech therapy in our everyday interaction with our son.Not stopping at that, Andrea also followed up with video recordings of the session, notes about what she noticed, strengths of the child, areas to work upon, feedback about what we are doing to help him, what can be done further.

Definitely a five star to Andrea, and would highly recommend her.
