Little Sparrows Therapy is a Cairns-based clinic providing Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Speech Pathology services to children and adults of all ages and ability levels.
Parents who have had positive experiences at Little Sparrows Therapy consistently highlight the warmth and dedication of the staff, with one family following the team across four locations over eight years and others praising specific therapists like Kimberley and Josh for their passion and practical guidance. The clinic receives particular praise for its OT and speech services, with parents noting that staff are proactive in flagging concerns and offering useful strategies. However, one reviewer raised a serious concern about the physiotherapy service, describing a nearly $400 assessment with no clear outcome, a recommendation for multiple sessions per week for a 7-year-old, and an additional charge of $192 for a written report — parents considering physiotherapy specifically may want to clarify costs and expected outcomes upfront.
