• Our approach

  Kids+ provides evidence-based Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, Support Coordination and Allied Health Assistant services tailored to each child's needs. The team works collaboratively to set goals and focuses for each child, creating a coordinated approach to therapy. Sessions can take place in the home, which makes life easier for families managing multiple children. The service includes individual therapy as well as group therapy opportunities, which help children make connections in the community. Parents are supported throughout the entire process, including navigation of NDIS and other areas families need assistance with.

• Working with families

  Kids+ supports families by working together as a team with parents to set goals for their child, and they assist families in navigating NDIS and other areas where support is needed. The service extends to the whole family, with sibling programs available for other children in the family. Parents can self-refer by filling out a form, calling, or emailing, and the team communicates with families to arrange services. The organisation recognises the importance of family involvement in therapy and provides flexible service delivery options, including home visits when needed.
