NDIS Speech Therapy

That’s why Therapy Connect is a registered NDIS allied health supplier and our NDIS speech pathology services are 100% funded for NDIS participants.
What is NDIS Speech Pathology or Therapy?

NDIS Speech Pathology Support Services
At Therapy Connect, our highly trained speech pathologists are committed to delivering comprehensive speech pathology services that empower our clients to enhance their communication and swallowing abilities and improve their overall quality of life.

Speech pathology intervention can assist with communication and swallowing challenges by evaluating abilities, developing personalised treatment plans, and working with other healthcare professionals to improve quality of life.
Understanding NDIS Funding Categories for Speech Therapy
When seeking funding for speech therapy through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), it’s crucial to include speech and communication-related goals in your NDIS Plan. The NDIS allocates funds for support and services that directly correspond to a participant’s objectives, which may encompass speech pathology as a means to achieve those goals. Therapy Connect speech pathology services can be 100% funded by the NDIS under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living (line item: 15_056_0128_1_3).
Speech Therapy
If you or your child face communication challenges due to developmental delay or disability, NDIS funding for speech pathology can be accessed for services including:
- Communication assessment and report
- Speech therapy program
- Identification of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) aids and how to use them
- Development of speech, language and nonverbal communication skills. Early intervention is crucial in addressing speech and language issues to prevent them from worsening over time.

To help individuals improve their communication skills, speech pathologists may recommend and utilise various tools. The NDIS may cover the costs of aids such as:
