Booking a Malay-speaking therapist
Because one therapist offers Malay sessions, availability is limited — ask early when you call 0493 719 759 or send the referral form. Sessions run at our Forest Lake and Coorparoo clinics, at kindy or school, or over telehealth for families further out.
Common Questions
Still not sure? Call the clinic on 0493 719 759 and we'll talk it through.
Can parent coaching be done in Malay?
Yes. Coaching the adults around the child is a core part of what we do, and it can be delivered in Malay so it is genuinely usable at home.
What if the Malay-speaking therapist is fully booked?
We will tell you the likely wait, and can start with another therapist and a professional interpreter, or over telehealth, if you would rather not wait.
