Media statement: Access to speech pathology under the NDIS is at risk.

Following the release of the NDIA’s Annual Pricing Review, Speech Pathology Australia has issued a statement calling for urgent action.

> Price limits have been frozen for six years
> A proposed 50% cut to travel rates threatens rural and outreach services
> No formal consultation with peak bodies. Despite our best efforts to respond to ad hoc enquiries from the NDIA, once again, our advice has been disregarded.

We’re calling on the NDIA to set the pricing recommendations aside, and engage meaningfully with the speech pathology workforce on these critical issues.

Speech pathologists are committed to delivering quality care but we can’t do it without fair, sustainable pricing.

Baby Sign Class: Give Your Little One a Voice Before Words! 🌟

Welcome to the utterly absurd world of Baby Sign Class, where teeny-tiny fingers can have a lot to say - and we’re not just talking gibberish!

Led by a friendly speech pathologist, who’s basically a superhero at decoding baby babble and making learning a blast, this class is like a playdate for your baby’s brain. We’ll sing silly songs, play ridiculous games, and giggle our way to better communication, because let’s face it, your baby has a lot to say!

Who’s it for?
Recommended for babies (ages 4–14 months) and caregivers, or really anyone who is ready to get this sign party started!

Where and when?
Bales Park Oval, Sydney
Starting in May 2025
Thursdays at 9:30am, 10:05am, or 10:40am (Sessions are 25 minutes, perfect for busy families who can’t sit still for too long!)

Why join Baby Sign Class?
-Boost your baby’s early communication skills, because let’s be real, it’s nice to know what they want for once.
-Reduce frustration (for both of you!), because screaming matches are so last season.
-Grow your baby’s vocabulary, and watch them become the most charming baby on the block.
-Encourage social skills, make new friends, and enjoy some adult conversation that doesn’t involve discussing the weather.
-Support your child’s cognitive development, and give them a head start on being a genius.
-Access our Word of the Week videos for at-home learning, because practice makes perfect, right?
-FREE speech and language screeners if you have any worries about your little one’s progress

PLUS: Meet other local families, get advice from our speech pathologist, and enjoy a fun, supportive environment with plenty of giggles and zero pressure. We promise not to judge you if your baby decides to have a meltdown.

How to join:
-Bookings are essential, so don’t be shy! Book online or text 0426 808 924 with your name and session time.
-Pre-pay online for single classes or packages, or pay cash on the day - we won’t charge you extra for the coffee you’ll need afterward.

Starting in May, there will be a Baby Sign class for parents wanting to give their littles a head start and learn some early language skills from a Speech Pathologist!

Join us at Bales Park Oval in Willoughby to meet other parents, learn some great skills through play and songs, enjoy the outdoors, and chat with a Speechie if you have any concerns.

This isn't therapy, it's a skill building class for all babies!

We recommend ages 4 months - 14 months, but all are welcome
