Speech Pathology & OT in Brisbane

What You’ll Find at Our Brisbane Clinic

Our services vary from one Hanrahan Health location to the next, so here is exactly what you can access in Brisbane.

Speech Pathology

Our speech pathologists work with children and adults on speech, language, literacy, social communication, and feeding and mealtimes. Every client starts with a comprehensive assessment, so the plan that follows is built around the whole picture.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists help people build the skills that make daily life easier. That covers handwriting and fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care routines and emotional regulation. Sessions can happen in the clinic, at home, or at school or preschool.

Telehealth and Key Worker Support

If getting to Aspley is hard, telehealth connects Brisbane families with a speech pathologist, occupational therapist or key worker by video or phone. Key Worker support for children under nine, which is the NDIS early childhood model, is available through our telehealth service.

In the Clinic, at Home or at School

Therapy works best when it fits into real life, so we don’t limit it to one room. Come to our Aspley clinic, or let us come to you. Occupational therapy sessions can take place in the clinic, at home, or at your child’s school or preschool.

Our Brisbane speech pathologists also visit homes, schools and preschools, supported living facilities and nursing homes, so people who can’t easily travel still get consistent support. And when getting out the door isn’t practical, telehealth connects you with a speech pathologist, occupational therapist or key worker by video or phone.

What Happens at Your First Appointment

The details vary a little from one service to the next, but the aim is always the same: understand what matters to you before we plan anything.

Get in Touch

Send a referral through our online form, or call the Aspley clinic on (07) 3263 0200. Our admin team will talk you through what happens next, including how your funding works.
A Comprehensive Assessment

A speech pathology assessment usually takes up to 1.5 hours, or up to 2.5 hours for school-aged clients, and we may split it over two sessions. Afterwards you receive a written report to share with your doctor, teacher or other professionals. Occupational therapy assessments can take place in the clinic, at home, or at school or preschool.
Therapy Built Around Your Goals

We set goals with you, your family and the others involved in your care, then get started. Speech pathology sessions run for 45 or 60 minutes. Occupational therapy can be one-to-one or in a small group. Either way, you take home a program to keep progress going between sessions.
