Who this is for
Adults, children, families and carers in regional areas who want to ask whether Speech Pathology 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.
- 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 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.

Questions
Telehealth Speech questions
A private space, reliable internet and a device with a camera and microphone are useful starting points. We will explain whether a parent, carer or support person should also be available.
No. We check 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. We will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment 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 we'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell us your funding type and we'll explain the costs before anything is booked.
