Self-Referral Online Form

Do I need a doctor's referral to start speech pathology?

Ready to get started? Fill out our simple online form to share details about your child and request an initial assessment.

No, you do not need a GP or doctor's referral to access speech pathology services. Parents, carers, and individuals can self-refer directly to book an initial assessment or consultation.

If you wish to claim Medicare rebates, your GP will need to prepare a formal management plan prior to your initial consultation.
