*UPDATE*

So we've been to the DR, and she did think it was worth referring us. Basically she referred me somewhere called "early child intervention" or something, which is the public system in my area that deals with these things. I asked her if i couldn't get a referral for a private speech pathologist, and she said yes if i didn't mind the cost. She explained to me that speech pathologists are NOT dr's, so i won't get a medicare rebate. I might get something back from private health insurance, but if not its all out of pocket. She said they aren't classifed as drs, they are under the banner of chiropractor, etc.

She gave me a few private ones to ring, and i will get some quotes because its been 2 weeks and haven't heard a peep from the public system.

He has had the odd random garble of sounds, but increasingly is pointing to things going "ah ah ah" and is starting to seem frustrated.

So if the fees for the private SP aren't ludicrous then i guess we'll go that route so we can get on to it, hopefully not too long a wait there either.
