One team around your child – working closely with families, educators and our community.

Fun!

Learning should be joyful. We bring creativity to every session and celebrate every win.

Our story

It all started with one simple idea…

Children deserve therapy that feels like a place they can’t wait to come back to. Hide and Speech began with two speech pathologists, a small clinic and a big vision – a place where children felt safe, families felt genuinely supported, and therapy was something children actually enjoyed.

Today we’re a collaborative team of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Psychologists supporting hundreds of families across Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs every week. Our mission hasn’t changed: every child who walks through our doors should know they belong exactly as they are.

The Hide and Speech team
Passionate people. Purposeful therapy. Plenty of fun.
