Clinicians
Meet the clinicians for Adult Speech Pathology.
Who this is for
Adults, families, carers and referrers in regional areas who want to ask whether Speech Pathology support can be provided online.
We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- Goals, current supports and referral context checked before the next step
- A carer or support person can join when useful and agreed
- Face-to-face or other options discussed when online delivery is not suitable
What telehealth can look like
A clear setup before the first online session.
A suitable adult session may include structured conversation, guided communication activities and strategy review, with a support person involved when useful and agreed. Not every person or session is suitable for telehealth, so we check the details before confirming an appointment.
Before the session
Check the technology and support
A private space, reliable internet and a device with a camera and microphone are useful. We will explain whether another person should be available.
During the session
Follow a guided online appointment
The Speech Pathologist can guide conversation or activities by video and adjust the pace and format to the agreed session plan.
Suitability first
Use the setting that fits
If the clinician needs a different type of observation, equipment or in-person support, we will explain another appropriate next step.
Start with an enquiry. Share the postcode, age, communication goal, technology and support available, and we will check the most appropriate setting.
What to send first
What to have ready when you call.
Share the person’s age, postcode, communication goal, available technology and support, plus funding or referral details if available.
- Age, postcode and communication goal
- Technology, privacy and support available for a video appointment

Questions
Adult Telehealth Speech questions
Yes. Include your relationship to the person, their location, the communication goal, current supports and any referral or funding details already available.
Sometimes. We will discuss whether a support person would be useful and confirm the person’s preference before the appointment setting is finalised.
Start with an enquiry. We will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - Tell us what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell us your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
