Speechies change lives! That’s why we are delivering on our election commitment and have expanded access to speech pathology support services for children and young people with severe speech and language disorders.
We’re investing $74.9 million to ensure more than 385,000 patients under 25 years of age can access life-changing speech pathology services through Medicare.
This means Medicare rebates for speech therapy including up to eight assessments and 20 treatment sessions available with a GP or specialist referral.
This will help so many young people.
