Day to day
What speech pathologists actually need from software
Not generic SaaS feature lists — the specific operational ground that decides whether your week works.
- Mixing NDIS-funded therapy with Medicare CDM/EPC and DVA on the same client list
- Coordinating school, early intervention, and clinic visits with travel-time billing where funders allow it
- Tracking Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) certification (the profession is self-regulating, not AHPRA-registered)
- Drafting NDIS-aligned reports that survive plan-review scrutiny while keeping clinical content encrypted
- Telehealth delivery with the right Medicare items where eligible, on the same diary as in-person work
Capabilities
Built-in for speech pathology
NDIS-funded episodes
NDIS plan-managed and self-managed episodes record alongside Medicare and DVA-funded therapy on the same Person, with goal alignment and plan-budget visibility for plan-managed clients.
CDM/EPC session tracking
Medicare CDM/EPC referrals capture session counts, GP origin, and review-letter triggers — drafted from the episode record so coordinators do not chase GPs at the last session.
SPA credential tracking
Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) certification — Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status — sits on the practitioner record alongside NDIS Worker Screening and police checks where applicable.
Encrypted clinical content
AES-256 encrypted clinical notes, plans and reports remain in Australia. AI features draft from structural metadata only and the clinical body is excluded from external AI APIs.
NDIS-aligned reports & goals
Goal-linked progress notes and NDIS-aligned reports surface plan-review evidence directly from session activity, reducing rework when participants come up for plan review.
Funding
Funders speech pathologists bill
Australian allied health practices rarely sit on one funder. CareOS handles the most common AU funder mix on the same diary.
- Medicare bulk-billing and patient claims for MBS items applicable to the discipline (CDM/EPC, MHCP, telehealth where supported).
- DVA Gold and White card billing for service items in the discipline schedule.
- NDIS-funded episodes (plan-managed and self-managed pathways) sit on the same encrypted clinical record.
- Private health gap claiming via HICAPS Go terminal or cloud lane.
- Workers compensation and CTP/insurer claim pathways with sandbox validation before submission.
AHPRA registration tracked: Speech Pathology Australia (self-regulating, non-AHPRA)
Speech pathology software — common questions
- Does CareOS support Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) credential tracking?
- Yes. SPA certification (Certified Practising Speech Pathologist, CPSP) sits on each practitioner record alongside any NDIS Worker Screening and police-check requirements. Speech pathology is self-regulating in Australia, so the system tracks SPA rather than an AHPRA Board where appropriate.
- Can the same client appear under NDIS and Medicare?
- Yes. The Person record carries multiple program enrollments — for example, NDIS-funded therapy plus Medicare CDM/EPC — without duplicate intake. Funder-aware billing rules apply per session.
- Are speech pathology session notes used by external AI?
- No. Clinical session content is encrypted at rest and never sent to external AI APIs. AI drafting features operate on structural metadata only (session type, goal IDs, duration) and every output is held for clinician review.
- How are school and early-intervention visits handled?
- School and early-intervention visits sit on the same travel-time-aware diary as clinic and home visits. Travel claims apply where the funder allows, and goal-linked progress notes feed NDIS plan-review evidence directly.
Run speech pathology alongside NDIS or aged care?
Practices that share clients with a disability or aged care arm see one Person record instead of three exports between systems. Bundle discounts apply automatically when more than one program is enabled.
