A little support can make a big difference.
Starting therapy should feel simple, supportive and welcoming.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or professional, we’re here to help you explore the next step for a child. Tell us a little about what matters, and our team will be in touch to discuss available services.
Everyone is welcome to start the conversation.
We welcome self-referrals from families and referrals from people involved in a child’s care and development.
Parents & caregivers
You can contact us directly. A diagnosis or referral letter is not always needed to enquire about occupational therapy.
Educators & support teams
Teachers, early childhood educators and support coordinators can help families connect with our team.
Health professionals
GPs, psychologists, therapists and other health professionals are welcome to refer children for consideration.
Three simple steps to get started.
No complicated process. We want to understand what your child and family are looking for, and help you find a suitable next step.

A few things families often ask.
Can I make a referral without a diagnosis?
Yes, families can enquire about occupational therapy without a formal diagnosis. Eligibility for particular programs, funding or rebates may have additional requirements.
Can a teacher or support coordinator refer a child?
Yes. We welcome professional referrals, provided the family has given appropriate consent for the referral and sharing of information.
Will my child be offered an appointment straight away?
Appointments depend on service suitability, location and therapist availability. If immediate appointments aren’t available, our team can discuss potential waitlist options.
Can you help us understand funding options?
We can explain our service arrangements and the information families may need to check. Funding and rebate eligibility depends on your individual circumstances. Visit our Funding Types page → for an overview.
