Therapy sessions are typically offered on a weekly or fortnightly basis, depending on your needs and what is works best for you. For example, some speech therapy programs are best delivered in short, intensive bursts, while others are delivered less frequently over a longer period of time.

At this time, we are welcoming Self-Managed NDIS clients for Tell Me All About It speech therapy services.

Unfortunately we are unable to see Plan- or NDIA-Managed NDIS clients.

If, during the course of private therapy, you would like to pursue NDIA application, we are able to assist with this where appropriate with reports and documentation to support your application.

For home- and Telehealth-based sessions with children under the age of 16 years, or those needing supervision, we require caregiver(s) to remain present throughout the session. For sessions taking place at day cares, preschools and schools, educators must be nearby in the facility. You may also choose to attend appointments with a friend or family member over the age of 16 years, if you wish.

Your involvement helps us provide the best support by keeping you engaged in your child's progress, therapy goals, and home strategies. Being present may also help your child feel more safe, comfortable and confident during their sessions.

We can provide services at day cares, preschools and schools with permission from both a child's caregiver(s) and the facility. Some facilities may require additional checks before sessions can be organised, and arranging sessions onsite can take extra time.

If a facility enforces an additional fee for services on their premises, this cost will be passed onto the client. Our goal is to make speech therapy accessible and convenient, helping children, teens, and young adults receive support in familiar learning environments, so skills transfer more easily to everyday life.

Absolutely! You can access private speech therapy services with Tell Me All About It even if you are on a waitlist for public clinics.

We know that evidence shows early intervention can give your child the best start to their communication growth. Booking private sessions allows your child, teen or young adult to start receiving support sooner, without waiting months for public services.

Our sessions are tailored to individual communication, language, literacy, social skills, voice, and feeding needs, helping clients make progress while waiting for public care.

Once your child reaches the top of the public waitlist, we can discuss a full discharge with handover, or a hybrid model as appropriate, where goals may be shared between therapists to facilitate a team-based approach.
