Private health

Claim through your extras cover.

University-qualified team

What we do

Therapy built around your child, not a checklist

Every child starts with an assessment, then a plan that fits how they learn, whether that’s one-on-one, in groups, or a mix of both.

  • 01

    Communication assessments

    A clear picture of your child's speech, language, literacy, stuttering, voice and social skills, so therapy targets what actually matters.

  • 02

    One-on-one therapy

    Individualised sessions built around your child's goals and the way they learn best.

  • 03

    Group programs

    School Readiness, Secret Agent Society, Language and Literacy, and the SOS Approach to Feeding, run in small supportive groups.

  • 04

    Specialist techniques

    Advanced approaches most suburban clinics don't offer, including ReST (Rapid Syllable Transition) and Ultrasound Biofeedback for tricky speech sounds.

Why All Access

A specialist team that treats your family as part of therapy

All Access is led by director and speech pathologist Jessica Van Der Leeden (Bachelor of Applied Science in Speech Pathology, University of Sydney), heading a team of six university-qualified clinicians.

    Six degree-qualified speech pathologists from the University of Sydney, UTS, ACU and Western Sydney University, so there’s depth behind every plan.

  • A deeper specialist toolkit

    Certified in Hanen "More Than Words", Secret Agent Society, Social Thinking, Key Word Sign, the SOS Approach to Feeding, ReST and Ultrasound Biofeedback.

  • Family-centred practice

    Parents and families play a role in every decision, from assessment through to therapy and beyond. You’re in the room, not the waiting room.

Good to know

Questions parents ask us first

Still weighing it up? Give the clinic a call. We’re happy to talk it through with no pressure.

Do I need a referral to get started?

For private and self-funded therapy, no referral is needed, so you can contact us directly. For Medicare rebates you’ll need a GP care plan, and for NDIS you’ll need the relevant funding in your child’s plan.

What funding do you accept?

NDIS (plan-managed, self-managed or agency-managed), Medicare through a GP care plan (up to five rebated sessions a year), and private health via your extras cover.

What ages do you work with?

We primarily support children, and we also see some adults. If you’re not sure whether we’re the right fit, just ask.

What happens at the first appointment?

We start with an assessment to understand your child’s communication and what’s getting in the way, then talk through a therapy plan that suits them.

Do I need a diagnosis before we start?

No. Many families come to us unsure whether their child needs support at all. We’re happy to talk it through and help you work out the right next step.

Where are you located?
