Speech pathology and language therapy at every age, from first words to life after a stroke.
Late talkers, following instructions, early play and mealtimes, with parents coached alongside the child.
Speech sounds, reading and writing, following the classroom, and keeping up with friends at lunch.
Fluency, social communication, AAC that suits a teenager, and the confidence to speak up for yourself.
Aphasia and dysarthria after stroke or brain injury, voice, swallowing, and communication at work.
Dementia communication, mealtime safety and swallowing, and staying part of the conversation.
A small team who know each other’s caseloads, sitting metres from our OTs, physios and EPs. The clinician who assesses you is the one who keeps showing up.
Complex dysphagia and mealtime management, and the clinician who oversees the speech pathology caseload.
Communication and swallowing goals for NDIS participants, kids through to older adults.
OTs, physios and exercise physiologists under the same roof, so a swallowing plan and a seating assessment don’t need two providers.
Communication and swallowing, across every age. Tap through the six we’re asked about most.
Trouble making or organising the sounds of speech, so words come out unclear and family, teachers or new people struggle to understand. Articulation is how a sound is made; phonology is the pattern behind it. We work out which one it’s before we start.
Difficulty finding words, speaking, reading or understanding what’s said, usually after a stroke or brain injury. The thinking is intact, the language is the problem, which is exactly why the right therapy matters so much.
Repeated sounds, stretched words or blocks where speech gets stuck. Early therapy makes a real difference for young children, and adults can learn techniques and confidence that hold up in the moments that matter.
Weakness or poor control in the muscles used for speech, so speech sounds slurred, quiet or effortful. Common with cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, MS, motor neurone disease and after a stroke.
When memory, attention, planning or problem solving get in the way of communication, often after a brain injury or with dementia. Therapy focuses on the practical: appointments remembered, instructions followed, conversations held.
A learning difference affecting reading, spelling and writing. Speech pathologists work on the sound-to-letter link underneath it, and on the classroom or workplace supports that make the day workable.
Difficulty swallowing, known as dysphagia, is more common than most people think, especially for older adults and people with neurological conditions. Our speech pathologists assess how you swallow, reduce the risk of choking and aspiration, and get mealtimes back to being something you look forward to.
Watching a real meal, in your own kitchen.
Written clearly enough for every support worker to follow.
Modified diets and fluids that still taste like food.
Everyone at the table knows what to do, and why.
For some people, words alone won’t carry the message. AAC covers everything from a pointing board to a speech-generating app on a tablet, and we help you find, fund and use the right one, at home, at school and out in the community.
Our paediatric speech pathologists use fun, play-based activities so children build communication skills without it ever feeling like a lesson. We see babies through to adolescents, and we go where the child already is: home, daycare, kindy or the classroom.
Goals are set with the family. Sometimes what mum, dad or a carer wants differs from what the child wants, so we ask everyone, then write a plan that works for the whole household.
Hard-to-say sounds and words made clearer.
Understanding and using words and sentences.
Early speech pathology help for bumpy, stuck-sounding speech.
Joining in, taking turns, making friends.
After a stroke or brain injury, or with dementia, Parkinson’s or MS, losing words can cost you far more than words. Relationships, independence, decisions about your own life, all of it runs on being understood.
Our speech pathologists work on the communication that matters to you, whether that’s a phone call each Sunday, chairing a meeting, or telling a support worker exactly how you like things done.
Words back, plus strategies for when they don’t come.
Volume, pace and clarity for dysarthria.
Tired, hoarse or fading voices, and how to strengthen them.
Aids, visuals and training for the people around you.
We’re a small local team, and that shows up in how much time we spend asking questions before anyone writes a plan.
Every plan is built around the person’s own goals, and we work on them together.
We ask a lot of questions to find the root cause, then make clinical decisions we can explain to you.
Progress happens between sessions, so families and carers are in the room and in the plan.
Stroke recovery, dementia, developmental delay, complex dysphagia. Our team works with all of it.
We’re based at 50 Archer St, Woodford, and our speechys travel across the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay every week. Speech pathology appointments run in clinic, at home, at school or at your day program. Most people mix two or three of these.
Practice with your own kitchen, your own family, your own mealtimes.
School, kindy, the shops or the footy club. Real conversations, with teachers and carers looped in.
Therapy rooms with the whole allied health team next door.
Not sure which one you’re under? Call the front desk and we’ll work it out with you before anything is booked.
Agency, plan and self managed. Usually Capacity Building.
Chronic disease care plans, with a GP referral.
Veterans’ cards accepted, with the referral sorted for you.
Speech pathology funded through your Home Care Package.
School and daycare funded blocks, arranged with the service.
Private health and self funded, no referral needed.
Three steps from the first call to regular sessions, usually within a week or two.
Tell the front desk what’s going on. We sort funding, referrals and whether you’d rather be seen at home, at school, out and about, or in the clinic.
Your speech pathologist assesses communication, swallowing or both, asks the whole household what matters, then sets goals with you. Reports written for NDIS, DVA or Medicare.
Regular sessions where they work best, with practice for between visits and progress shared across the whole Quad Care team.
Both, at every age. Babies and toddlers, school kids, teens, adults and older adults. There’s no upper age limit on wanting to be understood.
Usually a week or two. We use that time to match you with the right speech pathologist, and we’ll always tell you the real number when you call rather than putting you on a list and going quiet.
No. We come to you, at home, at school or daycare, in aged care or out in the community. The Woodford hub is there when you’d rather come to us.
Not for NDIS or privately funded speech therapy, just call. Medicare care plans need a GP referral, and we’ll walk you through getting one.
Yes. Trials, setup, the NDIS assistive technology paperwork, and the part most people skip: training the family, school and support workers to use it every day.
Send it through the form below or call the clinic directly, including mealtime and dysphagia referrals. Someone at the front desk will get back to you.
Let us know who it’s for and whether it’s talking, swallowing or both. You’ll get a call within one business day with the next free session times.
Shared only with the clinic team booking your appointment.
