- Key Worker: Our key workers play a crucial role in coordinating and facilitating the delivery of services for NDIS participants. They act as a primary point of contact for families, liaise with other healthcare providers, and assist in developing individualised care plans. Key workers work collaboratively with families to ensure seamless coordination of allied health services and support the child’s overall development and progress.
- Exercise Physiology: Our team of experienced exercise physiologists specialise in designing and implementing tailored exercise programs for children with disabilities. By working closely with the child, their family, and other healthcare professionals, our exercise physiologists aim to enhance their physical health, mobility, and overall well-being.
- Physiotherapy: Our skilled physiotherapists provide assessment, treatment, and management of a wide range of physical conditions in children. They employ evidence-based techniques to address motor skills, balance, coordination, strength, and mobility challenges. Through individualised therapy plans, our physiotherapists support children in reaching their developmental milestones and maximizing their physical potential.
- Speech Therapy: Our team of dedicated speech therapists focuses on improving communication skills and addressing speech and language difficulties in children. They provide comprehensive assessments, individualised therapy sessions, and targeted interventions to support children in developing effective communication, language comprehension, speech articulation, and social interaction skills.
- Occupational Therapy: Our dedicated Occupational Therapists focus on improving children’s ability to engage in meaningful daily activities and develop essential life skills. They address sensory processing challenges, fine motor skills, self-care routines, and social-emotional development. Our therapists collaborate closely with families and educational institutions to ensure a holistic approach and functional outcomes for the child.
