Who will be my child's speech pathologist?
Your child and your family are important to us and we want to help your child reach their potential. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead your child’s communication journey. This also means the therapist will become familiar with how your child learns as their skills change and develop.
All of our therapists have a university degree in the minimum and are members of our professional body Speech Pathology Australia. Our therapists have experience working with children of all ages with a range of communication disorders and needs, including: language, speech, reading, spelling, stuttering and social skills.
Our Therapists are required to continually update their skills. They attend regular Professional Development Workshops so that they can continue to provide Chatterbox families with the most up-to date, research based therapy.

Why choose Chatterbox Speech Pathology?
No matter what the reason, you are our priority and we are committed to helping your child improve, and stay that way.
That’s why we do what we do. We are famous for our incredible results with:
Teaching children to understand better
Teaching children to learn how to read and write
Teaching children to talk
Speech Pathologists are specifically trained to assess and treat your child’s communication skills.
Don’t wait. Early intervention has been proven to help children achieve their best both now and for later success. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. Your child is not having these difficulties because they are lazy. You may find they are starting to avoid situations where they have to talk, or will become frustrated when they have to do their homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
Speech Pathology Funding Options:
There are options available to help you support your child with Occupational therapy and speech therapy services. We are able to process: Medicare, Private Health, National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), FaHCSIA, Better Start and Helping Children With Autism (HCWA) funding for both assessment and therapy in our clinics.
