    ​Generally, you can book an initial Speech Therapy appointment without needing a referral. This allows you to contact a speech therapist directly to set up a session. However, if you want to use Medicare to help cover the cost, you'll need a referral from your doctor. There are also other funding options that might require a referral. For instance, if your child's teacher has concerns about their speech and communication skills, they might write a referral letter. Bringing this letter to the speech therapist can be very helpful for the initial assessment.
