Speech Pathology
Speech Pathology online when distance makes clinic travel difficult and telehealth suits the session.
Speech Pathology offers a practical way to discuss communication goals online when the person, support needs and session activities are suitable for telehealth.
- Talk through whether online support is the right fit first
- Technology, support person and clinical context are checked before the next step
- Avanti confirms when in-person care is the better option

Adults, children, families and carers in regional areas who want to ask whether Speech Pathology can be provided online.
Avanti confirms whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- Video appointments considered for adults and children where suitable
- Technology, support needs and session goals checked before the next step
- A parent, carer or support person can be included when helpful
What telehealth can look like
A clear setup before the first online session.
A suitable online session may include structured conversation, guided activities and practical review, adapted to the person’s age, goals and support needs. Not every person or session is suitable for telehealth, so Avanti checks 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. Avanti 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, Avanti will explain another appropriate next step.
Start with an enquiry. Share the postcode, age, communication goal, technology and support available, and Avanti will check the most appropriate setting.
What to send first
One message, fewer phone calls - what to include.
Share the person’s age, postcode, communication goal, funding details and what technology or support is available for an online session.
- Age and postcode
- Communication goal and what has prompted the enquiry
- Funding, referral, technology or support-person details already available
Questions
Telehealth Speech questions
A private space, reliable internet and a device with a camera and microphone are useful starting points. Avanti will explain whether a parent, carer or support person should also be available.
No. Avanti checks the person’s age, goals, technology, support needs and what the clinician needs to observe before confirming whether an online appointment is appropriate.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
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 Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
