What does an NDIS Speech Pathologist do?

An NDIS Speech Pathologist assesses and treats challenges with communication and swallowing. This includes difficulties with speaking clearly, understanding language, using words and sentences, social skills, stuttering, voice, and safe eating/drinking. We create individualised therapy plans to help participants achieve their specific NDIS goals.





How do I know if I am eligible for NDIS Speech Pathology?

To access NDIS-funded Speech Pathology, you must first be an approved NDIS participant. Your plan needs to include funding for this service, which is typically found under Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living Skills. If you have this funding, you can use it to book our services. We can also assist with reports to request funding for your next plan.

Do you provide mobile or in-home services?

Yes, we strongly believe in therapy in natural environments. We offer mobile services to your home, school, daycare, or supported independent living (SIL) accommodation. This allows us to work on functional communication skills in the context where they are most needed.





What is AAC?

AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It encompasses all forms of communication beyond speech, such as gestures, picture boards, communication books, and high-tech speech-generating devices (apps on iPads or dedicated devices). We specialise in finding the right AAC system for each individual.





My child isn't talking yet. When should I seek help?

Early intervention is key. If your child is not meeting typical communication milestones (e.g., no babbling by 9 months, no single words by 15 months, no two-word phrases by 2 years), it is highly recommended to seek an assessment. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access support.






Can you help with swallowing problems?

Absolutely. Swallowing disorders are known as dysphagia. We assess the muscles and movements used for eating and drinking, provide strategies for safe swallowing (e.g., texture modification, posture techniques), and work to reduce the risk of aspiration.

How do I book an appointment?

Booking is simple. Click the "Book Now" button on this page or call our clinic directly. Please have your NDIS number ready. We will discuss your needs, confirm your NDIS funding details, and match you with the most suitable therapist for your goals.





Can you help adults as well as children?

Yes, we support NDIS participants of all ages. Communication and swallowing needs can arise at any time due to acquired conditions like brain injury, stroke, or degenerative diseases, or can be lifelong. Our therapists are experienced in working across the lifespan.

In their words

What Families Have to Say

"My support worker, Sarah, has been an absolute lifesaver. She helps with my daily routine, from meal prep to getting to appointments on time, and even takes me on short walks to the park. Sarah is patient and really listens to what I need. I’m so grateful for the support she provides – I feel more confident knowing she’s there."
Emily T, Brunswick, Melbourne
"We hired a gardener from Beyond Health Services, and Jason has completely transformed our backyard. He removed the weeds, trimmed the hedges, and even installed a vegetable garden that my wife and I have been enjoying. The space looks so much better, and we couldn’t be happier with his attention to detail."
Jason M, St Albans, Melbourne
"The cleaning service from Beyond continues to impress us. Every corner of our home gets attention – they even scrubbed out stains from the carpets that we thought would never come out. I always look forward to coming home to a fresh, spotless house after their visit. Their reliability is what sets them apart."
Sophia R, Sunshine West, Melbourne
"I’m so grateful for Liam, the driver who takes my father to his medical appointments. Liam is always on time, helps my dad in and out of the car, and even waits with him at the doctor’s office. It’s reassuring to know my dad is in such capable hands when I can’t be there myself."
Adam G, Windsor, Melbourne
"These guys sent over a fantastic speech therapist to help my son with his communication challenges. Kate was incredibly patient, using fun and interactive techniques to get him to open up. In just a few weeks, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in his speech, and he’s more confident in expressing himself. We’re so thankful for Kate’s expertise and warmth."
Sarah W, Werribee, Melbourne
