Speech Therapy for Hamilton Region
If you're a Hamilton teacher whose voice gives out by Friday, or a Waikato professional whose chronic cough disrupts meetings, months-long public wait times shouldn't mean suffering whilst your career suffers. You deserve same-week specialist care—not exhausting Auckland drives. Your voice matters.
Hamilton is NZ's fastest-growing city with 3.1% annual population growth straining healthcare services. Specialist shortages mean accessing timely speech therapy has become increasingly difficult for Waikato families and professionals—with hospital wait times creating barriers.
We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your Hamilton home via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—no Waikato Hospital drives, no parking stress, no months-long public wait times.
Sacha Allnatt (NZSTA #12789, 15+ years Te Whatu Ora) specialises in voice disorders, chronic cough, swallowing difficulties, and upper airway conditions. Gentle, evidence-based therapy from home. WINZ funding may be available.

You'll meet with Sacha via secure video link from your Hamilton home or office. Sessions are just like in-person therapy - we'll work on exercises, techniques, and strategies tailored to your needs. All you need is a device with a camera and stable internet connection.
Research shows telehealth speech therapy is equally effective as in-person treatment for most adult conditions. Many Waikato patients actually prefer it as they're more relaxed in their own environment, leading to better outcomes.
Waikato Hospital's Speech Language Therapy Department requires a GP referral and often has significant wait times due to high demand. Our private telehealth service offers same-week access with the same clinical expertise, and you may be eligible for WINZ funding toward private services.
Most adult speech, voice, and communication conditions can be effectively treated via telehealth, including voice disorders, chronic cough, stuttering, and accent modification. During your initial assessment, we'll confirm telehealth suitability for your specific needs.
We serve all of the Waikato region via telehealth - Hamilton city, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Matamata, and beyond. No matter where you are in Waikato, you can access expert speech therapy without travel.
We typically offer same-week appointments for Hamilton telehealth sessions. With New Zealand facing a 24% specialist shortage and Hamilton being the fastest-growing city, private telehealth provides immediate access when public services are stretched.
Initial telehealth assessment (75 minutes): $167. Follow-up sessions (45 minutes): $127. These are lower than in-person rates while providing the same expert care from a Te Whatu Ora clinician. WINZ funding may be available.
We can provide invoices for insurance claims. Many insurance providers now cover telehealth speech therapy. We recommend checking with your insurer about coverage for speech-language therapy services.
