Supporting your child’s communication takes a team, and we’re here to help.

Speech and language assessments and therapy are available in our Geelong clinic and within local school settings, to help children build skills as they grow.

Our Speech Pathologists are all members of Speech Pathology Australia and work with families across the region, including NDIS participants. Choosing a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist means your child is supported by someone who meets national standards for quality and care.

We currently have limited availability for children aged 3-12. If you’ve been thinking about speech therapy, now is a good time to reach out and register your interest 💛

Our Senior Speech Pathologist, Holly Trounce, began our latest Hanen TalkAbility™ program last night with a group of enthusiastic, motivated parents. This program includes an orientation session, eight parent training sessions, and three additional home-based coaching sessions with their children. We’re thrilled to be able to offer this evidence-based program to our region.

Does your child have trouble with their storytelling? Maybe their stories are lengthy and hard to follow, or they mix up the order of events and forget to include key details.

In the TalkAbility™ program, we teach parents strategies they can use in everyday moments to help their children share ideas and build stronger storytelling skills for the future.

Term 2 orientation sessions begin in the April 2026 school break, and spots are limited to keep groups small and personalised.

Registrations close this Friday, the 20th of March – or earlier if places are filled.

What a thrill to be invited to present with Dr NIcole Carvill from to the Victorian Preschool Officers Association this afternoon! A two and a half hour online session on PDA Aware Preschools. This presentation was designed to transform how the PSFOs understand and support students with a Pathological Demand Avoidance profile in the preschool setting. Thanks for inviting us- we love working collaboratively with motivated and extraordinary educators!
