Refer a client
Thank you for considering a referral to First Stop Speech Pathology. We accept referrals from health and education professionals, support coordinators, and families who would like to refer a child or young person to our service.
Current availability
We currently do not have immediate availability for new clients.
If you would like a child or young person to join our waitlist, please complete the referral form using the link below. We will contact the family to discuss availability, whether our service is a good fit, and next steps.
If you need urgent support, please refer the family to their GP, paediatrician or local health service while they wait for speech pathology.
Who we see
We accept referrals for:
children and young people aged 0–18 years living in Brisbane’s southside (or further away for telehealth)
children with speech, language or communication difficulties or differences
including autistic children, children with developmental language disorder, intellectual disability, ADHD and other developmental conditions
children and young people with complex communication needs who use, or may benefit from, AAC (for example TD Snap, communication books or key word sign)
You do not need a formal diagnosis for a referral to be accepted.
