Our approach
Early Start Australia uses a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach where occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, dietitians and physiotherapists work together with parents to understand and support each child's individual development goals. The team develops evidence-based therapy plans tailored to your child's needs and works with you to help them function better in their day-to-day life across home, school and community settings. Sessions focus on practical skills like daily living routines, communication, movement, play and learning, with therapists sharing information and providing evidence-informed advice throughout your journey. The approach emphasizes early intervention at all stages, recognising that starting therapy sooner leads to better outcomes for your child's wellbeing and quality of life.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to the approach – parents and carers are key partners throughout therapy. The team works with you to understand your goals and share evidence-informed advice to help you support your child's development across their everyday life at home, school and in the community. Regular communication and information-sharing between therapists and parents helps ensure consistent strategies and better outcomes for your child. Your involvement in developing and carrying out the therapy plan is essential to achieving the family's goals and improving quality of life.

All team members are committed to helping children and young people develop skills, manage their health, enhance movement and mobility, understand emotions, and improve communication and daily living abilities.
