Services at a Glance
Occupational Therapy (clinic, home, school or telehealth)
Read More
We support children, teens and young adults to build confidence and independence in the places that matter most – home, school and community. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and may focus on sensory needs, routines, daily living skills, school participation and community access. We work flexibly across clinic, home, school and telehealth to fit in with your life.
Psychology (NDIS-funded therapeutic supports)
Read More
We provide a safe, affirming space for young people to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Using evidence-based, neuro-affirming approaches, we support with anxiety, emotional regulation, school challenges, identity and overall wellbeing. Therapy is collaborative and paced to suit the individual, with parent involvement where helpful.
Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)
Read More
We complete Functional Capacity Assessments that provide clear, NDIS-ready reports describing a person’s strengths, needs and support requirements across daily life. We use a mix of formal tools, observation and interviews to understand how someone manages at home, school, work and in the community. The final report includes practical recommendations to guide NDIS planning, reviews and support teams.
Executive functioning & daily living skills
Read More
We support young people to develop the planning, organisation and problem-solving skills needed for everyday life. This may include routines, time management, task initiation, self-care, home responsibilities and study skills. Strategies are practical, easy to use and tailored to the person’s environment, helping them feel more capable and in control.
School readiness & transition planning
Read More
We help children and teens prepare for key transitions such as starting school, moving to high school or stepping into post-school pathways. We focus on building the skills, confidence and supports needed for a smoother transition – from classroom participation and routines to communication with teachers and support staff. We work closely with families and schools to create a coordinated plan.
Social, emotional & sensory regulation support
Read More
We work alongside young people to understand their emotions, sensory preferences and stress triggers, and to develop supportive strategies. This might include co-regulation tools, sensory-informed calming strategies, and ways to communicate needs more confidently. Our aim is to create environments and routines that feel safer, more predictable and more comfortable.
Parent coaching and NDIS guidance
Read More
We offer parent coaching sessions with practical ideas for supporting your child or young person at home, school and in the community. We can help with understanding sensory needs, behaviour, routines, visual supports and communication with schools or support teams. We also provide guidance around NDIS goals, evidence and service options so families can feel more informed and supported.
