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.

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.

Our approach

At Inspire Kids, therapy sessions are play-based, relationship-focused, and designed around your child's natural interests and motivation. Occupational Therapists work with children to strengthen everyday skills such as fine motor development, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and self-care routines in a way that feels meaningful and safe. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long and held weekly or fortnightly, either at the clinic, school, or kindergarten. Building a trusting relationship with your child is central to the approach, creating an environment where they feel comfortable to explore, learn, and grow. The therapists work collaboratively with parents and caregivers, offering practical strategies to help carry therapy goals into everyday routines and home environments.

Working with families

Parent and caregiver involvement is central to Inspire Kids' philosophy. A dedicated parent consultation is held at the first appointment to discuss your child's strengths, goals, and develop a customised plan together. Throughout therapy, additional parent consultations are scheduled as needed to review progress and adapt the approach. Therapists offer practical strategies and guidance to help carry therapy goals into everyday routines at home and in other environments. The service also includes dedicated parent coaching delivered by Occupational Therapists, focusing on strengthening relationships, building confidence in daily routines, and helping families navigate challenges with tailored, real-life solutions.

Your first visit

The first appointment is a dedicated parent or caregiver consultation where you'll meet with an Occupational Therapist to discuss your child's strengths, areas for growth, and priorities. Together you'll create meaningful goals and develop a customised therapy plan that aligns with your family's values. This consultation can be done in-person at the clinic or via Teams online, whichever suits your family best. Your second appointment is a "Connect Session" where the therapist conducts a comprehensive, play-based assessment designed to help your child feel at ease while exploring in a supportive environment. Additional parent consultations are scheduled throughout the therapy block as needed to review progress and adapt the approach.
