Anecdote
Clinical Support
Specialist Speech Pathology for Complex Needs
We work with adolescents and adults living with disability to build safer, more independent, and more meaningful lives through improved communication and mealtime safety.
Our clinicians specialise in complex cases – often where communication challenges coexist with behavioural, cognitive, or justice-system factors.
We provide high-level speech pathology supports under the NDIS, working closely with clients, families, support coordinators, and other professionals to deliver practical, evidence-based outcomes.

Our Approach
We believe communication is a human right and that every person, no matter how complex their needs, deserves the tools and support to express themselves, make choices, and participate in life.
Our clinicians take the time to understand each person’s story, environment, and goals. We collaborate with families, support workers, and allied health professionals to ensure that therapy outcomes are practical and sustainable.
We also bring deep experience working in disability justice contexts – including forensic, custodial, and community re-entry settings – where clear, supported communication can make a profound difference.
