Adult Telehealth Speech Pathology: FAQs
Everything you need to know about adult telehealth speech pathology with Astrad
How do telehealth speech pathology sessions work?
Sessions take place over a secure video call. You receive a link before your appointment and click to join from your phone, tablet, or laptop.
- For children: Your speech pathologist uses interactive games, screen-sharing activities, and digital resources to keep them engaged. A parent or carer joins to learn strategies for home practice.
- For adults: Sessions focus on targeted exercises, conversation practice, and strategy development.
After each session, you receive digital home practice activities to continue progress between appointments.
Is telehealth speech pathology as effective as in-person?
Yes. Australian research confirms that telehealth speech pathology delivers outcomes comparable to face-to-face therapy for most communication conditions. Speech Pathology Australia endorses telehealth as a valid service delivery model.
Telehealth often works well because:
- You practise skills in your real environment, where you actually use them.
- Many clients, especially children, engage better in familiar surroundings.
For conditions requiring hands-on assessment, such as detailed swallowing evaluations, we may recommend a face-to-face session.
Can I use NDIS funding for telehealth speech pathology?
Yes. Astrad Allied Health is an NDIS provider, and telehealth speech pathology is funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living (Category 15). No separate approval is needed.
We work with:
- Self-managed participants
- Plan-managed participants
Not on the NDIS? We also accept Medicare referrals via a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, as well as private clients. Contact our team on (07) 3477 9366 to discuss which funding pathway suits you.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a GP referral or any formal referral to access telehealth speech pathology with Astrad. You can book directly by:
- Calling (07) 3477 9366, or
- Using the enquiry form on this page
If you would like to access Medicare rebates, a GP referral and Chronic Disease Management plan is required. NDIS participants can access our services directly through their plan.
What do I need for a telehealth session?
All you need is:
- A device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or laptop)
- A stable internet connection (standard home broadband or 4G is sufficient)
- A quiet, private space
- Headphones (optional but recommended for extra privacy)
Our team will walk you through the setup before your first appointment if needed.
