Our approach
Early Start Australia takes an evidence-based, multi-disciplinary approach that centres on working together with parents to understand each child's individual needs and goals. Sessions are tailored to support children across their day-to-day life, with therapists collaborating to develop strategies that help your child thrive. The team includes occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, dietitians and physiotherapists who work holistically to meet each child's unique strengths, challenges and needs. Whether through in-person appointments at one of the clinics across every state and territory, or flexible telehealth services from home, therapy is designed to empower children and families to enjoy better quality of life and greater freedom and control.
Working with families
Parents and carers are central to therapy at Early Start Australia; the team works alongside you as partners to understand your child's needs and achieve better outcomes together. Therapists share information, provide evidence-informed advice, and collaborate with you to develop strategies that support your child across their everyday life. Communication is responsive and flexible, with options for in-person appointments at local clinics or telehealth sessions from home, whichever suits your family best. The goal is to work together with you, tailor support to your family's goals, and help you feel equipped to support your child's development in their natural environments.
Meet the team
The team at Early Start Australia includes occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, dietitians, physiotherapists and music therapists, along with allied health assistants. They work together across a multi-disciplinary structure to provide holistic care and evidence-based therapy services. Each therapist brings specialised qualifications and experience in supporting children's development across different areas—from movement and mobility, to communication, emotions, learning, and daily living skills. The team is spread across clinics in every state and territory, ensuring experienced therapists are available to meet families' needs wherever they are located.
Your first visit
At your first appointment, the team will work to understand your goals, needs and dreams for your child and family. They will gather information about your child's development and how they manage day-to-day activities to identify what they do well and where they may need extra support. From this initial assessment, a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plan is developed in collaboration with you. The multi-disciplinary team then works together with you to share information, provide evidence-informed advice and develop strategies tailored to help your child reach their development goals and achieve better outcomes.
