How do we work?

We focus on empowering parents and other caregivers to support children in their everyday environments (home, childcare, kinder).

1. Assessment and goal identification - using a routines-focused discussion with the caregiver, observation of child and environment +/- other formal assessment as required.

2. Therapeutic strategies and coaching in daily routines

3. Review of progress and goals

4. Progress reports at least every 12 months.

How often will appointments be?

The frequency of the appointments will be determined by our experienced therapists and discussed with the family/education centre. We typically provide fortnightly or monthly appointments.

Our occupational therapists’ time is billed at $193.99 per hour.
This includes all time spent with you or your child and any other indirect time spent for you (e.g. correspondence, referrals, resources etc.).

We can accept payments from:
