New Medicare support for speech pathology is here 🤍

From March 1, 2026, the M10 pathway gives eligible children and young people under 25 access to up to 8 assessment sessions and 20 therapy sessions. This includes support forspeech sound disorder, stuttering, and cleft palate—helping families access care that meets their communication needs.

The M10 pathway is separate from a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. While both can be used, they can’t be applied to the same session on the same day. A referral from a GP, paediatrician, or medical specialist is required.

HAPPY SWALLOWING AWARENESS DAY! 💛
Swallowing safely is something we often take for granted - but for many children (and adults), it can be a challenge.
Speech pathologists don’t just help with speech; we support swallowing too!

This includes:

• Making eating and drinking safer
• Helping children manage textures and tastes
• Supporting confidence and enjoyment at mealtimes

If your child coughs, gags, avoids certain foods, or struggles to finish meals, these are important signs to seek support. Early guidance can make mealtimes safer, calmer, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Today, we’re raising awareness about swallowing differences and how support can make a real difference 💛

Big Progress Can Happen on a Small Screen! ✨
Think your preschooler is too young for online therapy? Think again! 🧠 Research shows that for early learners, teletherapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. At Talkshop, we don’t just put a child in front of a screen. We bridge the gap and keep them engaged by:

🎨 Using interactive, play-based techniques: We weave therapy goals into games, digital storytelling, and hands-on activities that feel like an adventure, not a chore.

🤝 Partnering with YOU: We empower parents and caregivers with real-time coaching, giving you the tools to build your child's skills during everyday routines at home.

🏠 Creating a safe space: Therapy happens where your child feels most comfortable—their own living room! No commutes, no unfamiliar waiting rooms, just progress.

Ready to see how our immersive online sessions can help your little one thrive? 🌟
