You don't require a formal or medical referral to make an appointment with Connect Therapy. Simply contact me to book an appointment or enquire here.

The waiting period varies based on your availability and appointment preferences. Families with high flexibility may experience shorter waiting times. Please contact me to enquire.

Sessions are carried out either weekly, fortnightly, or on an intermittent basis, depending upon the need and availability. Each session is one hour face-to-face with Monique. This is followed by an email outlining improvements, goals, practical methods and tips to work on for your next session. I often loop in other professionals and family members via these emails to maintain consistent communication across your entire support network. Telehealth sessions are also a possibility, so we can talk through sensitive topics privately without the child present.

Yes. These can be arranged. The frequency depends on the location.

I will send appointment reminders via SMS each Friday to inform families of their upcoming appointment the following week

Monique provides highly individualised speech therapy, drawing on extensive clinical experience and specialised knowledge to support each child's unique needs. We welcome families accessing therapy through NDIS funding, as well as those paying privately.Therapy fees are $250 per hour, with session lengths tailored to each child's needs. So the total cost of each appointment will depend on it's duration.We're happy to discuss fees, session times and funding options with you.

There are several funding schemes that clients may access to help support the cost of speech therapy sessions. NDIS FundingSelf-managed and plan-managed clients with approved NDIS funding can claim the cost of therapy sessions through the NDIS.Please note that due to NDIS Pricing Arrangements plan-managed clients will typically need to pay an out-of-pocket “gap” payment. We are unable to service NDIA Agency-managed clients at this time.Medicare M10If your child has a confirmed diagnosis they may be eligible for Medicare M10 (up to 20 allied-health sessions). This can be accessed through your child's paediatrician or psychiatrist.Medicare Chronic ConditionIf your child has a chronic condition requiring multidisciplinary care, they may be eligible to receive 5 allied health sessions per calendar year. This funding does not require a formal diagnosis and can be arranged through your GP.Private Health InsuranceIf your policy has Extras cover for speech pathology you may be able to claim a portion of therapy fees. Please check your policy's benefits, annual limits and waiting periods.

Connect Therapy operates as a pay-on-the-day clinic. For sessions held at the practice, we kindly ask that you settle the invoice upon completion of your appointment. For sessions conducted offsite (telehealth, school visits), we ask that clients make payment by bank transfer within 7 days of their appointment.
