Fees

At Growing Harts Therapies, we aim to provide you with transparency on the structure of your appointments and all correspondence.

We offer home-visits, clinic based and telehealth appointments to suit your needs.

Our prices are benchmarked against current National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) pricing of $193.99 per hour, which is the industry standard rate for private speech pathology services. Lactation services will align with this to be equitable and consistent with all care provision.
