Our approach
At Early Start Australia, therapy is tailored to each child's individual needs through a collaborative, evidence-based approach. The multi-disciplinary team works alongside parents to understand their child's unique strengths, challenges and goals, then develops a customised plan to support development across daily life. Sessions are designed to be responsive and flexible, with therapists across occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology, physiotherapy and dietetics all working together to deliver holistic care. Whether in-person at the clinic or via telehealth from home, the focus is on empowering families with evidence-informed strategies to help their child thrive and enjoy greater independence.
Working with families
Parents and carers are partners in the therapy journey at Early Start Australia. The team works with you to understand your goals and dreams, shares information throughout treatment, and provides evidence-informed advice to guide your child's support at home and in the community. Sessions can be delivered in-person at the clinic or flexibly via telehealth from your own home, making it easier to fit therapy into your family's life. Regular collaboration ensures you're equipped with strategies to support your child's development across their day-to-day activities.
Meet the team
Early Start Australia's team includes occupational therapists, speech pathologists, psychologists, physiotherapists, dietitians and music therapists, all working as a multi-disciplinary unit. These registered health professionals are experienced in early intervention and child development, with support also provided by allied health assistants. The team is structured to work collaboratively together and with families, sharing expertise to understand each child's needs and deliver coordinated, evidence-based therapy. All staff are bound by NDIS quality and safety requirements as a registered NDIS provider.
Your first visit
At your first appointment, the team takes time to understand your child's needs, goals and dreams alongside your family's circumstances. A comprehensive assessment or initial consultation gathers information to identify your child's developmental strengths and areas where support is needed. From there, the multi-disciplinary team develops an individualised therapy plan with evidence-based strategies tailored to your child. You'll work collaboratively with the therapists, who will share information and provide guidance to help you and your family achieve better outcomes together.
