Our Services
Therapy built around your child, not a fixed timetable
Every plan begins with an evidence-based assessment and a discussion of family priorities and concerns. From this, measurable goals are established using approaches supported by current research evidence. Select a service below for further detail.
We support communication development at every age, from toddlers who aren't yet talking to young adults preparing for job interviews. We also work closely with the people around your child, including parents, teachers and support workers, so progress carries over into everyday life, not just the therapy session.
We support
- Speech sound production and clarity (how easily your child can be understood)
- Receptive and expressive language (understanding and using language)
- Late language emergence and early intervention (late talkers)
- Fluency disorders (stuttering)
- Literacy, including reading and spelling
- Social communication and pragmatic language (social skills and back-and-forth conversation)
- Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
- Speech clarity and oral presentation skills, for older children and adolescents
- Ages
- Children, teenagers and young adults
- Service delivery settings
- Home, school, childcare or via telehealth
- First step
- An evidence-based assessment, followed by clear goals we can track progress against
Occupational therapy addresses the functional skills needed for everyday participation, identifying and working through what's getting in the way of a child managing daily tasks with confidence. It often runs alongside speech pathology, since the two areas overlap more than most families expect.
We support
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Handwriting and pencil grip
- Self-care and daily living skills (dressing, eating and other everyday tasks)
- Emotional regulation (managing and expressing big feelings)
- Sensory processing (how a child responds to sounds, textures and movement)
- Independence for teenagers and young adults
- Ages
- Children, teenagers and young adults
- Service delivery settings
- Home, school, childcare or via telehealth
- Works alongside
- Speech pathology, for clients receiving both services
Skills are most effectively developed in the environments where they are naturally used, a process known as generalisation. A session at the kitchen table, in the classroom or within the community means strategies transfer directly into everyday routines, with the people who matter most in the room.

Telehealth provides secure, video-based intervention with a consistent treating clinician and consistent treatment goals.

It is also well suited to parent and carer coaching, and review sessions between home visits.

- Teenagers and young adults who prefer their own space
- Parent and carer coaching sessions
- Review sessions between in-person visits

We also offer support through an Allied Health Assistant (AHA), delivered under a delegated care model (where therapy activities are planned and supervised by your treating clinician, and carried out by a trained assistant). This ensures support stays consistent with your child's individualised therapy plan.
Benefits of AHA support
- It can increase the frequency of sessions, or make ongoing support more accessible.
- Your AHA follows a plan established by your treating clinician, with regular check-ins to monitor progress.
- AHA sessions complement, rather than replace, your regular therapy sessions.
- Model
- Delegated care, planned and supervised by your treating clinician
- Frequency
- Weekly or more often, between regular therapy sessions

Who We Work With
From first words to independence
Communication and daily living skills matter at every age. What changes is the goal, the setting and how a session is run.
Early Years
Babies, toddlers and preschoolers
Play-based early intervention for late talkers, speech sound difficulties and early language delay, with parent coaching so strategies continue between sessions.
School Years
Primary and high school
Support for literacy, language for learning (the language skills needed to access the classroom curriculum), social communication, handwriting and self-regulation, delivered at home or at school and aligned with classroom goals.
Teens and Young Adults
Adult goals, adult sessions
Practical, respectful support for study, work, interviews, community participation, independence and AAC use, delivered in person or by telehealth.
Mobile & Telehealth
No clinic. No waiting room.
Real skills are best built in real environments. We bring evidence-based therapy into the home, school and community, so strategies have genuine real-life application and generalise (transfer) more quickly into everyday routines.
At home. The setting where most practice actually happens, with family able to take part.
At school or childcare. Therapy that connects to the classroom, with educators kept in the loop.
Online by telehealth, Australia-wide. Same clinician, same goals, no travel, wherever you are in the country.
Funding & How It Works
Straightforward funding, straightforward process
NDIS
We work with plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants. You receive an itemised invoice after every session.
(We are not an NDIS-registered provider, so this covers plan-managed and self-managed funding only, not NDIA-managed.)
Private paying
No referral, no eligibility process, no waiting on plan approvals. You receive an itemised invoice after every session.
Medicare rebate
Available with a current GP referral and Chronic Disease Management Plan (a Medicare-funded referral pathway). We'll talk you through this if it applies to you.
Note: We also accept private health insurance, ask us for details.

About Us
Evidence-based therapy, delivered with warmth
Talk & Grow was set up to bring therapy out of the clinic and into everyday life. Our clinicians are university qualified, Certified Practising, and committed to an evidence-based approach: the assessments and therapy methods we use are backed by current research, and we explain our reasoning at every step.
We're deliberately small. You work with the same clinician session after session, and when you call, you reach someone who knows your child's file.
Evidence-based. We use assessments and approaches with a solid clinical evidence base, and we explain our reasoning.
Strengths-based. Progress is built on what a child can already do, because confidence comes from genuine success, and children stay motivated when they can see their own progress.
Client- and family-centred. You know your child best. We keep you informed and equipped with strategies that work at home.
Neurodiversity-affirming. We support communication and participation without treating difference as something to be corrected.
Trauma-informed. Sessions are built on safety, trust, predictability and the pace of the person in front of us.
Collaborative. We're glad to liaise with other therapists involved in your child's care, so everyone is working toward the same goals.

What families tell us
5.0 out of 5 on Google
Is there a wait list?
No. We're accepting new clients now, so there's no waiting period. Once you get in touch we call you back within one business day, and the first assessment is usually booked within a week or two, depending on where you are and the days that suit you. If you've been on another practice's wait list, you're welcome to start with us in the meantime.
What ages do you work with?
Children from their first words through to teenagers and young adults. The goals and the way a session runs are matched to age and stage: play-based early intervention for toddlers, school-linked goals for primary and high school students, and practical, respectful sessions for older teens and young adults working on study, work, interviews or independence.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can contact us directly and start straight away, whether you're funded through NDIS, privately, or another way. If a GP, paediatrician, teacher or another therapist has recommended speech pathology, that's helpful context for the first session, but it's not a requirement. The one exception is Medicare rebates, which need a GP referral and Chronic Disease Management Plan (a Medicare-funded referral pathway), and we can talk you through that if it applies to you.
Where do sessions happen?
Wherever the skills are actually needed. Most sessions happen at home, and we also visit schools and childcare centres, plus workplaces for young adults, across Sydney. Telehealth is available anywhere in Australia, with the same clinician and the same goals, and works well for busy families, regional clients and many teenagers. You never have to fit a clinic appointment into your day.
What funding do you accept?
We work with NDIS (plan-managed and self-managed), Medicare (with a current GP referral and Chronic Disease Management Plan), private health insurance and private paying clients. Whichever applies to you, you'll receive an itemised invoice after every session, and we're happy to talk through the options before you commit to anything.
What are your trading hours?
Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 7pm. Early and late slots exist so sessions can fit around school, work and childcare. Calls, WhatsApp messages and form enquiries received outside these hours are answered the next business day.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an assessment. We start with a conversation about what you've noticed and what you'd like to change, then use evidence-based assessment tools matched to your child's age to get a clear picture of current strengths and needs. You'll receive a plain-language summary of what we found and a set of goals we agree on together. Therapy sessions follow from there, usually weekly or fortnightly.
