Phone Consultations
Sometimes you just need to talk things through. Our phone consultations provide a convenient way to discuss your concerns with an experienced speech pathologist, without needing to attend the clinic in person.
Phone consultations are 30 minutes and cost $50.
What can a phone consultation be used for?
A phone consultation may be helpful if you would like to:
-
Discuss concerns about your child’s speech, language, literacy, or feeding
-
Clarify whether your concerns are within the range of typical development
-
Determine whether further assessment or therapy is recommended
-
Understand next steps and possible support options
-
Ask questions following a report, assessment, or teacher feedback
-
Get practical strategies you can try at home
-
Seek advice before committing to a full assessment
-
Access professional guidance when attending the clinic is difficult or inconvenient
Phone consultations are particularly useful for families who live remotely, have busy schedules, or are unsure whether their concerns require further investigation.
What to expect
Upon booking, you will be sent a short form to complete prior to the appointment. This allows you to outline your concerns and any relevant background information, helping the speech pathologist prepare and make the most of your consultation time.
During the consultation, the speech pathologist will listen to your concerns, ask relevant questions, and provide professional guidance tailored to your situation. Where appropriate, we can:
-
Offer reassurance
-
Suggest strategies to trial at home or in the classroom
-
Recommend whether assessment or therapy would be beneficial
-
Advise on appropriate referral pathways or supports
