Specific amount of funding/hours for the plan period, if known:

Thank you for confirming the speech pathology funding allocation for this participants plan.

Please note that our speech pathologist will determine how this funding is best used based on clinical reasoning, the participant's goals, and the supports required. This includes decisions around the balance of face-to-face and non-face-to-face time, all of which are essential components of evidence-based service delivery.

As with all sessions, there is a necessary amount of non-face-to-face time involved in planning, documentation, and liaison, which is chargeable under the NDIS. While the ideal may appear to be face-to-face time only, it is important to note that this is unlikely to reflect the actual delivery model. The most appropriate distribution of time will be at the discretion of the treating speech pathologist to ensure high-quality, goal-directed care.

If it has been directly specified in the participant’s plan that a certain structure must be followed, please provide a copy or written evidence of this requirement so that we can review it in line with NDIS expectations and our clinical responsibilities.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification. We greatly appreciate your referral.
