ADVOCACY A decade of advocacy delivers: Medicare expanded for speech pathology After more than 10 years of sustained advocacy, SPA has secured a landmark reform that will significantly improve access to speech pathology services for children and young people across Australia. This change will come into effect from 1 March, with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) M10 group expanding to include stuttering, speech sound disorders, and cleft lip and/or palate, enabling Medicare-rebated assessment and treatment for eligible children and young people under 25.
