Occupational therapy (OT) is about the activities we do each day, what brings us joy, and the journey to becoming you.

We help children and young people to recover, develop, and maintain the skills for independence and community involvement. Our services are personalized to meet each individual's unique needs.

  • — Improve fine and gross motor skills
  • — Understand your sensory systems
  • — Develop play and engagement skills
  • — Support emotional regulation
  • — Build self-care and independence
  • — Prepare for school readiness

Telehealth Services

Telehealth Coordination

Families can connect with their therapist virtually via video or phone call without the need for travel. Telepractices save valuable time and make therapy more accessible, including for those in rural or underserved areas. With telehealth seamlessly integrated into the family routine, you’ll receive the consistent support your child needs for development and skill-building. Telehealth can be utilised to go beyond the home to support you in a variety of settings. Whether it be a coaching call with grandparents, developing a skill building program for your support workers, or collaborating with the classroom teacher. Telehealth can be a long term solution to accessing professional support from anywhere in Australia. Or an interim solution to extensive wait times.
