No, you can speak with us directly to find out how we can support your child!

Our sessions last different lengths of time depending on how complex your child's condition is and how much time they need.

First evaluations: Sixty minutes

Reviews/Follow-up Sessions: 30, 45 or 60 minutes.

Your child’s initial appointment serves as an opportunity to acquaint ourselves with both you and your child, evaluate your child’s current abilities, and gain insight into their strengths and challenges. With this information in hand, we can collaborate on devising a plan to address your concerns and support your child in attaining their objectives.

Outlined below is an overview of what to expect during your child's initial assessment:

1. Building Rapport: We'll dedicate time to establish a connection with you and your child, fostering open communication while discussing your concerns and your child's medical and developmental background.

2. Physiotherapy Assessments: Our evaluation will encompass an assessment of your child's movements and play skills, posture and alignment, muscle strength and tone, joint mobility, balance, coordination, and sensory functions.

3. Collaborative Goal Setting: Together, we'll identify the most significant goals for you and your child, crafting a dynamic treatment plan tailored to your family's needs, aimed at fostering a positive outcome for your child.

If your child has a disability, a chronic health condition, or complex care needs, then there may be funding options available to help pay for or subsidise your child’s therapy sessions :

Medicare rebates are available for up to five (5) eligible allied health sessions per calendar year (January 1st-December 31st). The current rebate per Physiotherapy or Exercise Physiology session is $52.95. A referral from your GP is necessary to set up these services.
