What families say

★ 3.8based on 12 Google reviews

Reviewers most consistently praise individual therapists — particularly physio Andrew Forrest and OT Katrina Scott — for their personalised, flexible approach, with multiple reviewers noting that sessions are tailored to specific needs and that therapists show genuine understanding and care. The physiotherapy side receives uniformly positive feedback, with no reported wait times and willingness to travel for home visits, while the OT side draws more mixed responses: one reviewer reports an eight-month wait for a follow-up appointment for their child, and a separate reviewer states that therapists are not experienced or equipped for children with complex conditions. Parents should also be aware of one complaint about an admin staff member being unhelpful and dismissive, which stands in contrast to the warmth described in clinical interactions.

What Adaptability helps with

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Paediatric Physiotherapy

Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.

Paediatric Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Adult Occupational Therapy

Adult Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy appointments for adults in the Brisbane area and online across Australia, including hydrotherapy options.

Adult Speech Pathology

Mental Health Occupational Therapy

Positive Behaviour Support

A therapy approach that reduces challenging behaviours by understanding what is driving them and building supportive routines, environments and skills, so a child can take part more fully at home, school and in the community.

Assessments and Reports

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Home Modifications

Assessment and recommendations for changes to the home environment — such as ramps, grab rails and bathroom modifications — to improve safety and independence for people with disability or reduced mobility. Usually carried out by an occupational therapist.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
