Good news for families: more Medicare support for Speech Pathology

From 1 March 2026, Medicare has expanded access to speech pathology services for children and young people under 25 years of age. This change means more families can get help sooner, with added financial support through Medicare.

Medicare now includes support for stuttering, speech sound difficulties, and cleft lip and/or palate under an existing Medicare program. With a referral from a GP, specialist, or consultant physician, eligible children and young people can access Medicare‑rebated speech pathology services.

This includes:
Up to 8 assessment sessions, and
Up to 20 therapy sessions
(lifetime limits before age 25).

Talk to your GP to see whether your child may be eligible for this program. The Medicare rebate of $87.25 per session can help reduce the cost of ongoing speech pathology support.

✨ What does an Inclusion Support Worker do? ✨
Our Inclusion Support Workers play a vital role in helping people belong, participate, and build independence in the places that matter most — at home, in the community, and in everyday life.
Working alongside families and our allied health team, Inclusion Support Workers provide practical, strengths‑based support that helps individuals take part in meaningful activities, develop functional skills, and feel confident to be themselves.
Inclusion support is about more than “helping out” — it’s about creating access, opportunity, and connection, while always keeping dignity, safety, and choice at the centre.
✅ Supporting participation in daily living and community activities
✅ Building independence, confidence, and self‑advocacy
✅ Promoting inclusive, respectful, and safe environments
✅ Working collaboratively with families and clinicians
✅ Tailoring support to each person’s goals, strengths, and interests
At Peninsula Plus, our Inclusion Support Workers are part of a connected team. They’re guided by shared values of community, empowerment, inclusion, integrity, and innovation, and supported through training, collaboration, and clear clinical direction.
💙 Inclusion isn’t about fitting in — it’s about making space.
If you’d like to learn more about Inclusion Support or how it could support you or your family, we’d love to talk. 59751500

✨ Welcome Clare to our Pen Plus Team ✨

Clare is a Speech Pathologist and Team Leader at Peninsula Plus, bringing over a decade of experience spanning clinical practice and educational leadership. Originally trained at La Trobe University, Clare worked as a clinician before moving into progressive leadership roles within the Victorian Department of Education, where she developed a deep appreciation for the systems and supports that help children thrive.

Returning to the allied health space, Clare is passionate about the school-aged years — a time when the right support can make a real difference to a child's confidence, communication, and connection at school and beyond.

Outside of work, Clare can be found singing, gardening, and keeping up with her two young daughters. She loves spending time with friends and family, and music remains a constant source of joy in her life.

✨ Welcome Alisha to our Pen Plus Team ✨

Alisha is an engaging and compassionate Psychologist (AHPRA) with over six years of experience supporting young people through a neuro-affirming lens. She takes a person-centric approach that goes beyond standard "interventions," focusing instead on advocating for her clients' unique cognitive profiles and tailoring "bespoke" strategies that honour how their brains actually work.

With a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Counselling, Alisha blends clinical expertise with a genuine passion for working with adolescents and young adults. She views therapy as a collaborative partnership, moving away from a "top-down" clinical model to empower her clients to build capacity, celebrate their strengths, and navigate a world that isn't always built for them.

National Close the Gap is an Australian initiative aimed at achieving health equality and improving life outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Closing the Gap is underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved. It also recognises that structural change in the way governments work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is needed to close the gap.
