What does a paediatric OT actually help with?

Common areas include handwriting and fine-motor skills, sensory sensitivities, daily routines (dressing, eating, sleep), coordination, and self-regulation.

Do we need a referral?

Not to see an OT privately. A GP referral and care plan are required only to access Medicare rebates or certain funded pathways.

Can OT be funded by the NDIS?

Yes, typically under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living when it aligns with your child's plan goals.

How is OT different from physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on gross-motor movement and physical function; OT focuses on participation in everyday tasks, including fine-motor, sensory, and self-care skills.

What Grow helps with

Paediatric Physiotherapy

Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.

Gross Motor Skills Assessment and Intervention

Assessment and intervention for children facing challenges in movement quality or motor skill development compared to their peers.

Fine Motor Skills Evaluation

Evaluation of fine motor skills to determine age-appropriate performance, with collaboration with occupational therapists when needed.

Neurological Conditions Support

Support for children with neurological concerns, addressing movement differences, stiffness, floppiness, and asymmetry.

Infant Movement Pattern Management

Identification and management of persistent infant movement patterns, such as toe walking or specific postures.

Sensory Motor Skills Assessment and Treatment

Assessment and treatment of ocular-motor, vestibular, tactile, proprioceptive, auditory, and motor planning systems.

Musculoskeletal Anomalies Management

Evaluation and management of musculoskeletal issues, from birth-related problems to injuries and malalignments like scoliosis.

Continence Issues Assessment and Treatment

Assessment and non-invasive treatment for children experiencing bladder and bowel problems.

Cardiorespiratory Intervention

Intervention for children with obesity, poor fitness, or respiratory conditions to improve overall health.

Chronic Childhood Conditions Support

Support for children with chronic conditions, focusing on symptom management, prevention of complications, and improving quality of life.

Hydrotherapy

Therapeutic exercises performed in a heated pool under the supervision of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. The water's buoyancy reduces joint stress and allows movement that may be difficult on land, making it beneficial for children and adults with physical disability, chronic pain or low muscle tone.

Orthotics and Equipment Prescription

Customised aids to support your child's mobility.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Our approach

Sessions at Grow Kids Collective are play-based and child-centred, designed to help children enjoy therapy while working toward their developmental goals. The team uses evidence-based physiotherapy treatments that address developmental delays, hypermobility, and neurodiversity. Rather than traditional clinical settings, therapy happens in an engaging, spacious child-friendly environment where kids can play and be themselves. The approach recognises that children learn and thrive best when they're having fun, and every session is personalised to match your child's unique needs. Your child's comfort and enjoyment are central to how the team delivers care.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the centre's philosophy—your voice and role as a caregiver are valued as essential to your child's developmental journey. The team is committed to empowering parents and carers rather than leaving them feeling disempowered or lost in a maze of appointments. Communication is clear and jargon-free, helping untangle the complexity of managing multiple specialists and services. The team keeps families informed and supported throughout their child's therapeutic journey. You're treated as a partner in your child's care, not just a bystander.

Your first visit

Your first visit begins with booking an appointment through the online system. In the initial sessions, the team conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's individual needs and developmental goals. This allows them to gather important information about your child before moving forward. Following the assessment, a personalised play-based therapy plan is created specifically for your child. This thorough approach ensures the team has a clear picture of how best to support your child's development from the start.
