ALL ABOUT TELEHEALTH
At Tell Me More Speech Pathology, we offer telehealth services to ensure that individuals of all ages can access high-quality speech pathology services, no matter where they are in Australia.
Telehealth allows clients to engage in therapy from the comfort of their own home, school, or workplace through secure video conferencing.
Our team is experienced in delivering telehealth sessions for children as young as 3 years old through to adults, supporting a wide range of communication and swallowing/mealtime goals.

Is telehealth effective?
How do I get started with telehealth?
What do I need for a telehealth session?
Absolutely! Research supports telehealth as an effective way to deliver speech pathology services, with outcomes comparable to face-to-face therapy. Our clinicians are skilled in engaging young children, teenagers, and adults via telehealth, making sessions interactive, meaningful, and goal-focused.
For younger children, therapy may involve caregiver coaching, where parents are guided on how to support their child’s communication at home.
For adults, telehealth is ideal for speech, language, voice, fluency, and swallowing therapy, with practical strategies that can be implemented immediately in daily life.

Supervision & Support for Telehealth Sessions in External Locations
For children receiving telehealth therapy at external settings (e.g., school, daycare, disability support programs), an adult must be available to:
- Setting up the device in a quiet environment.
- Logging into Zoom and ensuring video/audio is working.
- Being accessible throughout the session in case any difficulties arise.
The assisting adult is not required to remain present for the duration of the appointment, unless this is preferred by the parent/caregiver. However, they should be available nearby if needed.
For adult clients, support may also be required depending on individual needs. This could include:
- Assistance with technology setup or logging into the session.
- Support from a carer, family member, or support worker for communication or participation if necessary.
- Ensuring a quiet and private space is available for the session.
If additional support is needed, we encourage clients to discuss arrangements in advance to ensure sessions run smoothly.
