Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy by video, Australia wide. Experienced clinicians, same standards as in-clinic, half the travel time. NDIS, DVA, Medicare and private all welcome. We'll tell you up front whether telehealth's the right fit for your goal.
Video sessions aren't magic. They work brilliantly for some
goals and badly for others. We'll be straight with you at
intake. We offer home visits or in-clinic if telehealth isn't
the right fit.
Works brilliantly for
Telehealth strong points
·Speech therapy for school-aged kids: articulation, fluency, language, literacy. Often well suited
to shy kids.
·OT consultation and follow-up: strategy reviews, plan check-ins, goal-setting,
problem-solving sessions.
·Family training and coaching: teaching parents and partners the strategies. Works well for
this goal.
·Adult communication: voice, fluency, social communication, aphasia practice, AAC
programming.
·Rural and regional clients: anywhere Australia-wide with broadband and a quiet room.
·Top-up between in-home visits: keep momentum without a six-week wait for the next home slot.
·Care team meetings:
an easy way to coordinate with your broader care team. Family,
support coordinators and any other providers involved in your
care can join from wherever they are.
Less ideal for
Where we'll recommend in-person
·Complex home modification assessments: bathrooms, transfers, access usually need the OT in the room.
Simpler modification and assistive technology consultations can
be done via telehealth where clinically appropriate.
·Hands-on physio:
manual therapy, taping, joint mobilisation, post-op rehab. Get
in person.
·Complex paediatric sensory work: kids who need a sensory gym, swings, deep pressure or
full-body OT input.
·First-time AT trials: equipment often needs to be felt and tried in the real
environment before prescription, though earlier assistive
technology consultations can suit telehealth where clinically
appropriate.
·Clients without reliable internet: a dropped session is worse than no session at all.
·Severe dysphagia / mealtime assessment: needs in-person observation, sometimes a videofluoroscopy
referral.
Three sessions that thrive online
What the screen does well.
01 · Speech online
Speech Pathology by video
Speech therapy by video works brilliantly.
Articulation drills, language games, literacy, fluency, social communication, AAC programming, voice work. All evidence-based via telehealth and often well suited to shy or anxious kids. We share screen, use interactive boards, send home tasks instantly.
Interactive whiteboards, screen-share games and live materials
Parents and siblings can join from another room
Session notes and homework sent immediately after
02 · OT consult
OT consultation
OT review and consultation, very effective.
Strategy reviews, problem-solving, goal-setting, executive function coaching, sensory diet planning, plan-review preparation, capacity-building check-ins. Anywhere we don't need to touch the environment, video is genuinely effective for these goals.
When the goal is “teach the parent or partner how to support this”, video is brilliant. No travel, low pressure, easy to record (with consent) so the family can rewatch the technique later. Multi-person sessions across two houses work too.
Phone or web form. We confirm the right clinician for your goal, email a service agreement and a session link.
02 Tech check
5-minute setup call
Quick test of camera, microphone and link before the real session, so the first session isn't spent troubleshooting audio.
03 Prep doc
We send a session pack
Goal sheet, intake summary, anything you need printed or set up beforehand. No surprises on the day.
04 Live session
45 to 60 minutes, on time
You and your clinician, screen-share when needed, home tasks and notes emailed within the hour.
The tech bit
What you need to join.
We use a browser-based video platform. No app installs, no accounts,
no logins. Click the link, allow camera and microphone, you're
in. Works on any modern phone, tablet or computer.
Device
Phone, tablet, laptop or desktop with a working camera and
microphone.
Browser
Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. Anything from the last three
years.
Internet
A stable 5 Mbps connection or better. Most home NBN handles it
easily. Mobile data works too.
Space
A quiet, well-lit spot where you can talk freely. Kids tend to
do well in the lounge or bedroom.
Australia-wide
Available in every state and territory.
Telehealth means there's no postcode we can't serve.
Especially useful for rural and regional clients where local
allied health is thin on the ground.

Telehealth questions
Common asks about online sessions.
Does it actually work, what do kids need, is it claimable on NDIS, and the stuff every new client asks before they say yes.
Yes, for the right goals. Strong research evidence for speech therapy, OT consultation, family training and many adult communication conditions. Less effective for hands-on physio and complex sensory paediatric work. Home modification and assistive technology consultations can often be done via telehealth where clinically appropriate, and we'll tell you up front which side your goal sits on.
What equipment do I actually need at home?
A phone, tablet or computer with a working camera and mic, reasonable internet, and a quiet spot to chat. That's it. We don't need apps installed, accounts created or any subscription on your side.
Will the NDIS fund telehealth sessions?
Yes. Telehealth is a claimable delivery mode across all three management types (self, plan, NDIA). Billed at the same NDIS pricing as in-person. DVA, Medicare CDM and private health funds with extras also typically cover telehealth sessions.
Can young kids actually focus on a screen for 45 minutes?
Most kids over four manage 30 to 45 minutes brilliantly with interactive screen-share games, virtual whiteboards and a parent in the room. For toddlers we usually recommend shorter sessions or family coaching with the parent doing the direct work.
Can you still help with sensory or regulation work online?
For sensory diet planning, regulation strategies and parent coaching, yes, video works well. For hands-on sensory gym work (swings, deep pressure, full-body input), we'll recommend an in-home or in-clinic session instead. Often a mix of both is the right approach.
Can I record sessions to rewatch later?
With written consent from everyone in the session, yes. Especially handy for family training, AAC programming or technique demonstrations the family wants to practise later. We can record on our side and send you the file, or you can record from yours.
Can telehealth help coordinate my broader care team?
Yes. Video is a practical way to run care team meetings and coordinate with the people already involved in your care. Family, support coordinators and any other providers can join from wherever they are, so everyone stays on the same page without arranging travel.
