How we rank providers
Rankings in Queensland are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here list Speech Pathologist among their professions, or offer speech pathology and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in Queensland rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

Workers delivering NDIS supports in Queensland need the NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, administered by the Queensland Government (it replaced the Yellow Card system). 1314 of the 1497 speech pathologist providers listed in QLD are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Unregistered providers can still deliver many supports if your plan is plan managed or self managed.
NDIS price caps do not change by state: the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set the same maximum rates in Queensland as everywhere else in Australia. Higher caps apply in areas classified remote or very remote, which covers parts of Queensland.

Browse providers in the busiest areas, or use any suburb page to see who services your postcode.
What is in-home speech pathology?
Speech pathology is allied health support for people with difficulties in speech, language, communication or swallowing. Delivered at home rather than in a clinic, an NDIS-registered speech pathologist assesses and treats these issues under the Therapeutic Supports registration group, price code 0128, at up to $193.99 an hour (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26).
How to choose a provider for this service
Use the ranking methodology explained above the provider list as your starting point, then check what matters most for this service. Registration: confirm Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) membership, and for agency-managed NDIS plans, registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission under the Therapeutic Supports group. Response time: a slow reply matters more here than for many services, since dysphagia referrals carry real aspiration risk; 70 per cent of provider replies on Carevo land within an hour. Pricing transparency: ask for a written rate schedule against the $193.99 hourly cap and separate travel charges before you book. Coverage: 332 speech pathologists are listed on Carevo, so prioritise a therapist who already services your area and has AAC or paediatric feeding experience if that is your need.
Which funding pays for speech pathology at home?
NDIS participants have speech pathology funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, using the Therapeutic Supports registration group, when a planner accepts it as reasonable and necessary for the participant’s goals (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). It is available to any participant with a permanent, significant disability affecting communication, language or swallowing, and self-managed or plan-managed participants can book directly without a referral. For older Australians, Support at Home funds speech pathology as an allied health service in the Clinical Care category, which carries no participant contribution (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
Where speech pathologists are available
Speech pathologists are listed across 4,782 suburbs on Carevo, with 332 speech pathologists in the network nationally. Sessions are often paired with occupational therapy in the same visit, or coordinated through therapy assistants for participants managing several allied health goals in one plan.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
