Our approach

Early Steps Physiotherapy delivers a family-centred service built on shared skills and knowledge between therapist and family. Sessions work as a partnership aimed at helping each child reach their goals, with therapy delivered in comfortable, familiar settings like home, kinder or school. The focus is on making sessions as effective and comfortable as possible for both child and parents. Whether you're new to accessing services, self-funded, NDIA-supported, or seeking a one-off consultation, the approach prioritises working closely with families and carers throughout the child's therapy journey.

Working with families

The provider recognises the importance of working with families and carers as central to therapy delivery, and works in home, kinder or school settings chosen by families to make sessions as comfortable and effective as possible. Communication is built into the family-centred approach, where therapy is delivered as a partnership with parents and carers, aiming to build shared skills and knowledge. This means families are actively involved in supporting their child's therapy goals.
