Berwick speech pathology clinic

Our services are student‑delivered by speech pathology students in their final years of training, closely supervised by certified speech pathologists. You’ll receive quality care while helping train the next generation of health professionals for regional Victoria.

We offer assessment and treatment in blocks of therapy eight weeks in duration. If further blocks are required, we will manage this as per our waiting list procedure.

Speech pathology services (three to 16-years-old)

Assessment and treatment for children and young people who may need support with speech, language, communication, literacy or swallowing.

School and kindergarten screenings

We offer speech and language screening programs for kindergartens and schools. Our student speech pathologists, supported by experienced supervisors, visit your school to screen groups of children. These screenings help us identify early signs of speech, language, communication or literacy difficulties, so children who may benefit from extra support can be identified early.

After the screening:

• we provide feedback to parents if any concerns are found.
• we may recommend further assessment or support.
• with parent consent, we can share relevant information with the school nurse or appropriate staff.

Our screenings are a practical way to support early identification and help children access the right support at the right time.

Our services are delivered by Federation University students completing training in a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) or Master of Speech Pathology. All sessions are closely supervised by qualified speech pathologists.

Assessment and intervention services

Initial consultations are $60 per hour, or $50 with a concession card. If the assessment takes longer than an hour, extra time is charged in half‑hour increments.

After that, standard consultations are $45 for a 45‑minute appointment, or $40 with a concession card.

Adult communication groups

Group communication skills for adults are $20 per 45‑minute session.

Cancellations

We'll send you an email reminder before each session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at 100% of the session fee, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Consistent cancellations within a therapy block may result in your sessions being discontinued. If you can’t attend onsite, you may request a telehealth appointment instead. Non‑face‑to‑face services – such as teleconferences, letters, reports or home program activities – can be arranged and are charged at $30 per half hour.

Please make your payment online within 24 hours of your appointment. Ongoing appointments can’t continue until previous fees are paid. Berwick speech pathology clinic is not an NDIS provider, and services are not rebatable through Medicare or private health insurance.
