At My Allied Care, we are committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate speech pathology services to children, adults, and older Australians under Support at Home (SaH) and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).


Communication and swallowing are essential to independence, safety, and overall quality of life. Our speech pathologists provide practical, evidence-based support in the comfort of your home, helping participants achieve meaningful and functional outcomes.



What Does a Speech Pathologist Do?

Speech pathologists assess and treat a wide range of communication and swallowing difficulties, including:

  • Speech clarity and pronunciation

  • Language delays and disorders (understanding and expressing ideas)

  • Social communication challenges

  • Stuttering and fluency difficulties

  • Voice disorders

  • Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)

  • Mealtime management

  • Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC)


Our focus is always participant-centred - we work closely with individuals, families, carers, and support coordinators to develop personalised therapy plans aligned with functional goals.


Speech Pathology Under Support at Home (SaH)

For older Australians, speech pathology plays a vital role in maintaining health, dignity, and independence.


We provide home-based services for SaH participants, including:

  • Comprehensive swallowing assessments

  • Dysphagia management and safety strategies

  • Mealtime management plans

  • Texture modification recommendations

  • Communication support following stroke

  • Support for neurological conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s disease)

  • Voice therapy

  • Carer education and training


Early identification and management of swallowing difficulties can reduce the risk of choking, aspiration, malnutrition, and hospital admissions.


Our goal is to help older adults continue eating safely, communicating effectively, and participating confidently in daily life.



Speech Pathology Under the NDIS

Speech pathology is commonly funded under the NDIS to support participants across all ages and abilities.


At My Allied Care, we assist NDIS participants with:

  • Comprehensive communication assessments

  • Paediatric speech and language therapy

  • Early childhood intervention

  • Social skills development

  • AAC assessment, prescription, and training

  • Functional communication training

  • Literacy support

  • Mealtime and swallowing therapy


We align therapy goals with NDIS plans to ensure measurable, functional outcomes that enhance independence, participation, and confidence.


Home-Based Speech Therapy

We understand that therapy is often most effective in a familiar environment. That’s why we provide home visit services, allowing us to:

  • Assess participants in their natural setting

  • Provide practical, real-life strategies

  • Involve family members and carers directly

  • Support functional, everyday communication and mealtime routines


Home-based services also reduce travel stress and increase accessibility for participants and families.
