Commatters Speech Therapy currently accepts referrals from a range of sources. You can find more information below:

Private - parents/carers, general practitioners, paediatricians and other allied health professionals can refer. You do not need a doctor’s referral for a consultation.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) - Commatters Speech Therapy currently accepts NDIS referrals for NDIS participants who are plan-managed and self-managed.

Medicare - Medicare funding options do require a doctor’s referral. Clients can be seen under: Chronic Disease Management Plan or the Helping Children with Autism program. Medicare rebates do not cover the total cost of consultations. Please note: Commatters Speech Therapy does not bulk bill. You will be required to pay the full fee up front and then claim the gap fee yourself through Medicare.

If you’re interested in accessing our services, we invite you to complete a referral form. While we’d love to support everyone, completing the form helps us understand your needs—but please note that submitting a referral doesn’t guarantee a place on our caseload. Additionally, we are not currently providing services in the Greater Darwin area. 

Commatters Speech Therapy also offers supervision and consultancy services. If you would like to know more about these services, please don't hestitate to get in touch.
