Therapy

Our therapists provide evidence-based therapy services that are individualised to your child’s needs.

Therapy sessions are generally 30-minute or 60-minute appointments, and can be offered in clinic, at daycare, kindergarten, or schools, or out in the community. We value a family-centred approach to intervention, working with the client and family to achieve their goals.

Telehealth

Where suitable, clients are able access therapy services in the comfort of their home or community setting via video teleconferencing with the clinic.
