Our Services

RMSP accepts referrals directly from individuals, medical practitioners, aged care facilities and accredited private hospitals on the Lower North Shore.
We provide assessment and treatment for communication and swallowing disorders such as:

• Aphasia (difficulty understanding or expressing language)
• Dyspraxia (difficulty programming speech sounds)
• Dysarthria (slurred speech)
• Laryngectomy and voice disorders
• Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
• Oesophageal transit issues in the elderly which make eating difficult
• Adult fluency (Stuttering)
• Adult voice disorders

 

The disorders we treat are generally the consequence of:

• Stroke
• Acquired brain injury
• Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neuron Disease and Multiple Sclerosis
• Head and Neck cancer and surgery, tracheostomy and chronic medical conditions

 

We provide home, hospital or aged care facility visits. Telehealth is also an option for both assessments or therapy sessions. In addition, we provide a weekly group speech therapy session on Tuesday mornings in Mosman.

In-service lectures on both communication and swallowing disorder management to staff at aged care facilities and hospitals are also offered.

RMSP accepts referrals from GPs under the Chronic Disease Management Plan (formally EPC) for 5 sessions per calendar year. We also accept GP referrals to provide services to Veterans through the DVA.
