Adult Speech Pathology
We provide Speech Pathology across Australia to people of all ages and backgrounds, whether you pay out of pocket or access funding via NDIS, Aged Care, Insurance or other funding schemes.
At National 360, our adult Speech Pathology services are designed to support you if you’re experiencing difficulties with communication or swallowing due to stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions (like Parkinson’s or dementia), surgery, or the natural effects of ageing.
Our NDIS-registered Speech Pathologists work with you to assess and diagnose challenges, then create a personalised therapy plan tailored to your needs and goals.
You might benefit from Adult Speech Pathology if you’re having difficulty with:
Speaking clearly or fluently (e.g. stuttering)
Understanding or expressing language
Voice quality, pitch, or volume
Swallowing food and drinks safely (dysphagia)
Reading, writing, or using social communication
Cognitive communication, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving
Whether you're recovering from a health event, living with a chronic condition, or seeking to improve your communication, we’re here to help.
We focus on practical, real-world outcomes, like improving your ability to join conversations, return to work, or enjoy meals safely. Our approach is client-centred and goal-driven, and we work closely with your family, carers, and other providers to ensure consistent support across all areas of your life.
With clinicians across more than 200 locations, we deliver services in your home, community, or via telehealth, wherever suits you best.
At National 360, our goal is to help you communicate with confidence, stay connected, and live more independently.

360 Kids (Aged 0-8) - Paediatric Speech Pathology
At National 360, we understand how important communication is for your child’s growth and connection with others. Our 360 Kids Speech Pathologists use play-based therapy to make learning fun and effective, delivering sessions in your child’s natural environments, whether that’s at home, school, preschool, or in the community.
If your child has difficulties with swallowing, feeding, intellectual delays, or hearing impairments, our experienced clinicians can provide the support they need.
Our team specialises in helping children with speech and language challenges by offering assessments, personalised interventions, and therapy designed to improve speech clarity, language understanding and use, and social communication skills.
Speech Pathology is about more than just speech. We support:
Language development (understanding and using words and grammar)
Social communication (conversation skills, turn-taking, eye contact)
Play and emotional connection
Literacy and phonological awareness
School readiness and classroom learning
Fluency and stuttering
Support for children with autism, ADHD, speech delays, or dyslexia
Every child is unique. That’s why we tailor every session to your child’s strengths, goals, and personality.
Good communication helps your child build relationships, succeed at school, and participate fully in daily life. Our evidence-based strategies help address common challenges like clear pronunciation, fluency, literacy, and safe swallowing.
Adolescents (age 9 and over)
Our skilled speech pathologists offer services to teenagers and young adults from age 9 upwards. We’ll work on goals to build capacity and independence in areas including home, school, work and community.
Through therapeutic interventions and assistive technologies, your teenager will gain confidence and independence, and you’ll be supported every step of the way.
