  • Our approach

    Early Start Australia uses a holistic, evidence-based approach that brings together occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, dietitians and physiotherapists to support your child's development. The team works closely with parents to understand your child's individual needs and develops tailored therapy plans with evidence-informed strategies. Sessions focus on helping children build skills across daily life—from routines and emotions to play, school success and community participation. The multi-disciplinary team shares information and works collaboratively so your child receives coordinated, whole-of-life support rather than isolated therapy activities.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to how Early Start Australia works. The team actively partners with parents and carers, working with you and the people around your child to support their development across everyday life. The therapists share information, provide evidence-informed advice, and involve families in developing and delivering therapy strategies at home and in the community. Regular communication and collaborative planning mean you're an active part of your child's therapy journey, not a bystander.

  • Meet the team

    The multi-disciplinary team includes occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, dietitians and allied health assistants. Each profession brings specialised knowledge—OTs support daily living skills and school success, psychologists provide guidance on learning and emotional wellbeing, speech pathologists help with communication, physiotherapists focus on movement and development, and dietitians assist with feeding and nutrition. The team works together collaboratively, sharing information and coordinating care to ensure your child receives integrated support across all areas of need.

  • Your first visit

    At your first appointment, the team will take time to understand your goals, needs and dreams for your child, then tailor a therapy package to suit your family. The initial assessment involves a thorough evaluation to identify your child's unique strengths, challenges and support needs. This might include formal testing or detailed observations depending on what your child needs. From there, the team develops a personalised plan with evidence-based strategies to help your child and family thrive together.
