Speech Pathology Fees and Funding

I strive to make my fee structure transparent and fair. Services are charged at an hourly rate of $193.99 for both NDIS participants and private paying clients. Each individual therapy session is billed for one hour, which includes admin time, with no additional charges. If extra tasks arise outside of regular therapy sessions — such as writing letters, attending care team meetings, creating resources for home use, or one-off community visits — these may require additional time and will only proceed with prior written consent from parents.

Hourly Rate: $193.99

Initial Consultation

• Duration: 1 hour (45 minutes face-to-face, 15 minutes planning and documentation)

• Details: A parent-only session to gather background information, discuss your child’s needs, and explore how I can best support them. An assessment plan will be finalised during this session. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions. The child does not usually attend so parents can speak openly.

Assessment

• Duration: 1–2 hours (depending on the child’s age and needs, time includes scoring of assessments and documentation)

• Details: A combination of standardised and/or informal assessments to understand your child’s current speech, language, and communication skills.

• One off assessments: Length of time will vary based on the purpose of the assessment and the area being assessed. Please contact me to discuss your child's individual circumstances.

Assessment Reports

• Typical duration: 1–2.5 hours, depending on the type of assessment completed.

• NDIS Reports: Typically require 2 hours.

Therapy Sessions

• Duration: 1 hour (45 minutes face-to-face or via telehealth, 15 minutes planning and documentation)

Additional Tasks

Some tasks outside of regular sessions may require extra time and will only proceed with prior written consent from parents. These may include:

I aim to keep my fee structure transparent and fair, making it easier for families to plan for their child’s ongoing supports. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
