Our Fees

We are fully transparent about our pricing.

It is important to us that there are never any nasty surprises when it comes to how much you can expect to pay for our services, and we are always happy to discuss our expectations for each adult or child’s assessment and therapy journey from the outset. While what is required may be subject to change depending on the results of our initial assessment sessions and progress in therapy, we will always communicate openly and work with you to find a structure that meets our mutually set goals and each individual or family’s capacity. 

You can find our full fee schedule below. Our prices are benchmarked against current NDIS pricing of $193.99/hour, which is the industry standard rate for private speech pathology services.

Fees

Children’s Services

  • $193.99 - 50 minutes face to face, 10 minutes clinical administration.

    In this initial session, we will get to know you and your child, go over your case history and the paperwork you have pre-filled, discuss your concerns, and outline our plan for assessment and likely treatment options moving forward.

  • We offer two types of assessment session based on your child’s needs. Some assessments take longer to administer than others, which informs the amount of time required. Our fees include the cost of clinician time to score and analyse results, as well as single use assessment items (e.g. scoring sheets).

    LONG: $300 - 45 minutes face to face

    SHORT: $250 - 30 minutes face to face

    This assessment session will inform the path that our therapy journey will take, and is a vital part of ensuring that you get the most out of your time with us for all subsequent sessions.

    Follow up assessment sessions will not always be necessary; however, some clients require assessment of multiple domains or more in depth probing to get to the root of the problem. In order to keep costs manageable, these subsequent assessment sessions are offered on a case by case basis only.

  • Not all clients will require a formal report, which is why we have chosen to make them an optional service. You may wish to request a report to share with your doctor, other allied health provider, daycare, school, or if your sessions are funded by a service that requires a report (e.g. the NDIS). We will tailor your report to fit your needs, with three different options detailed below.

    1) Summary report: details the broad strokes of assessment outcomes and includes to-the-point analysis. 45 minutes of clinician time. $145.

    2) Detailed/complex report: provides a more in depth analysis. May be required for children with multiple or complex difficulties. 2hrs of clinician time. $388.

    3) NDIS report: very detailed, written in the style mandated by the NDIS in order to secure funding. 3-4hrs of clinician time. $582 - $776.

  • This session gives us the opportunity to explain the outcome of our assessment and provide recommendations. Where relevant, we will also discuss our therapy goals and work out a plan for intervention moving forwards.

    We are happy to conduct these reviews over the phone, via telehealth, in person, or even in an email summary if you prefer.

    FEEDBACK ONLY: $97 - 20 minutes face to face, 10 minutes clinical documentation. This session is appropriate for families who choose not to continue with therapy, or in the case that therapy is not needed. We will also provide you with general tips and recommendations for use at home in both verbal and written formats.

    FEEDBACK & THERAPY PLAN: $193.99 - 20 minutes face to face, 40 minutes clinical preparation. Includes feedback session as above, plus the time it takes for our clinicians to create an individual, personalised therapy plan for your child. Taking this time now ensures that subsequent therapy sessions are targeted and deliver the best possible results.

  • $145 - 35 minutes face to face, 10 minutes clinical administration.

    We find that 35 minutes is generally optimal in order to balance hitting therapy goals with the average child’s attention span!

    On a case by case basis, we can adjust our therapy sessions to be shorter (20 minutes face to face with 10 minutes of administration time at $97) or longer (50 minutes face to face with 10 minutes of administration time at $193.99). This will be at the discretion of the clinician in response to your child’s individual needs.

  • Price varies on a case by case basis.

    While activities for you to complete at home with your child will be a part of every Sprout & Bloom therapy journey, we may also offer more in depth home programs on a case by case basis.

    Depending on the area of need, agreed upon therapy goals, and your family’s capacity, an individualised home program may work to maximise therapy outcomes. However, please note that this may not be suitable for all clients due to a range of factors.

    We only offer home programs for existing clients, as we are unable to create a program for an adult or child without a thorough assessment process and understanding of their individual needs.

  • Pro rata at usual hourly rate of $193.99.

    We are happy to consult with and provide handovers to third parties on request, including but not limited to GPs, other allied health providers, daycares and schools, care providers, etc.
