Paediatric Services

Supporting children to communicate, connect and thrive.

At Olive Tree Speech Pathology, we specialise in providing nurturing, evidence-based speech and language services for children from infancy through adolescence. Our Western Sydney clinic offers a warm, sensory-rich environment where families feel supported, heard, and empowered, and where children can learn and grow at their own pace.

Whether your child is just beginning to find their voice, needs clearer speech, or requires support with social communication, our team is here to help every step of the way.
