The Initial Consultation is your first Zoom meeting with the Speech Pathologist and an excellent opportunity to discuss your concerns and reasons for accessing therapy. Please allow up to 60 minutes direct consultation time with the Speech Pathologist at this appointment. The Speech Pathologist will start by gathering important background information from you before commencing the assessment process. Please note that it is rare to complete a full assessment in one appointment, and subsequent consultations are usually required to complete the assessment process in full.

Please note that, in accordance with Speech Pathology Australia requirements, a written report is almost always recommended for new clients. Our report options and fees are set out in more detail below.

Standard Consultations are regular meetings with your Speech Pathologist that take place weekly or fortnightly following the Initial Consultation. The purpose of these sessions is to provide active therapy and intervention to target the areas of concern identified during the assessment process. The number of Standard Consultations required differs from client to client and largely depends on the individual’s rate of progress. The Speech Pathologist will work with you to plan the frequency of these sessions before getting started.
