NDIS Speech Pathology Sydney

Starting your NDIS speech pathology journey is simple with Health Journey Partner.

1.   First, contact our team to discuss your NDIS plan, communication and/or swallowing goals, and any specific needs.
2.   Next, schedule a comprehensive assessment at a location that works for you — whether in-home, at school or work, or via secure telehealth.
3.   After your assessment, we’ll provide a personalised therapy plan outlining clear goals and strategies.
4.   From there, you can begin regular therapy sessions, with ongoing progress monitoring to ensure your goals are being met.

To make the most of your initial session, please bring:

• A copy of your NDIS plan and any relevant documents
• Medical history and medication lists
• Any previous therapy reports or assessments
• Specific questions or concerns about your communication, speech, or swallowing needs

This ensures your therapist has all the information needed to develop a tailored plan that aligns with your NDIS goals.

Speech pathology services are funded through your NDIS Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living budget. We work within the NDIS pricing guidelines, and there are no out-of-pocket costs for services delivered within your plan funding. Before beginning therapy, we clearly explain any potential costs, so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. We work with all types of NDIS funding: plan-managed, self-managed, and NDIA-managed. We coordinate directly with your plan manager and support coordinator, ensuring seamless service delivery and minimal administrative burden for you.

The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs, goals, and available NDIS funding. During your initial assessment, your speech pathologist will recommend a tailored therapy schedule and discuss it with you and your support team. Sessions can range from weekly to fortnightly or monthly, depending on your progress and plan requirements.
