Children
0 to 12 years
Play-based help with the everyday skills of childhood: getting dressed, handwriting, play, friendships, attention and sensory needs.
What we offer
Occupational therapy for every age and stage
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to occupational therapy. Whether it is for a toddler, a teenager or an adult, we start with the person and the everyday things that matter to them, and work in the places where life happens.

What our OT service offers
-
Tailored assessments
Whatever the age or stage, a thorough, holistic look at strengths and challenges: developmental, functional capacity, SIL and SDA, assistive technology and home modification assessments.
-
A personalised plan
No two people are the same. Goals you helped set, and sessions built around them: skills-based activities, play, assistive technology, environmental changes and practical strategies.
-
Help with the NDIS
We have provided NDIS-funded therapy since the scheme began in NSW in 2015. We help you understand what you can access, and we write reports that get read.
-
Everyone pulling together
We work with families and carers to fit therapy into daily routines, and with teachers, doctors and other professionals so that strategies carry across home, school and clinic.
-
Trauma-informed care
Including complex psychosocial and mental health support. Sessions are sensitive, respectful and paced to the person, with safety, trust and choice at the centre.
-
Mobile, with telehealth
At home, at preschool or school, in the community, or by video. No clinic to travel to, and no waiting list.
Where sessions happen
We come to you
-
At home
Where routines actually happen: mornings, meals, play, homework and bedtime. Most families start here.
-
Preschool and school
Alongside educators, so the strategies that work in a session work in the classroom and the playground too.
-
In the community
Shops, parks, the bus, a workplace or a group home: wherever the goal is, that is where we practise it.
-
By telehealth
Secure video sessions for families and adults anywhere in NSW, and for check-ins between visits.
No waiting list
