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 Sigma helps with

Child & Adolescent Counselling

Safe, compassionate, and supportive environment to help young people navigate emotional difficulties and develop healthy coping strategies.

ADHD Assessments

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Paediatric 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.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)

A therapy approach that reduces challenging behaviours by understanding what is driving them and building supportive routines, environments and skills, so a child can take part more fully at home, school and in the community.

Sensory Assessments & Interventions

Help managing difficulties with sensory processing, with tailored interventions to manage sensory overload or under-responsiveness.

Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA)

Assessments to gain insights into factors contributing to behaviour of concern and guide recommended strategies.

NDIS Occupational Therapy

NDIS Psychology Services

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Psychology for DCPFS Clients

Psychological support for children and adolescents under Department of Child Protection and Family Support.

Individual Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Telehealth Services

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Our approach

Sigma Therapies integrates psychology, positive behaviour support, and occupational therapy into a holistic model of care that considers mental health, daily living skills, behaviour support, and emotional wellbeing together. The team uses evidence-based, person-centred approaches tailored to each client's unique needs, goals, and strengths. Sessions are designed to create practical, long-term improvements in daily life, emotional wellbeing, and independence, with therapists collaborating closely with clients rather than taking over the process. Strength-based care means the focus is on what's possible and the client's potential, not just their challenges. The approach emphasises meaningful outcomes over simply providing services, with every strategy and plan designed to deliver real, measurable impact.

Working with families

The team believes collaboration works best when everyone is on the same page. Therapists work closely with families, carers, support coordinators, and teachers to ensure therapy is well-integrated and progress is maximised. Communication is transparent and upfront, with clear service agreements so families have confidence in every aspect of the service. The family is involved in developing tailored therapy plans that support the child's goals and strengths. Regular updates and team coordination ensure sustained progress and adaptability throughout the child's journey.

Meet the team

The team includes psychologists (Nicholas Fares, Amit Londhe, Kurtis Sullivan, Benjamin Elphick), occupational therapists (Vedant Malik as Lead OT and Paediatric Specialist, Ron Yip, Divya Kumanan), and positive behaviour support practitioners (Dinithi Hettiarachi as Lead PBS Practitioner, Liam Burnheim-Foster, Taka Yik Ting). Clinical staff are highly trained, experienced, NDIS-registered professionals with backgrounds in clinical leadership, paediatric therapy, and complex case management. Vedant Malik specialises in paediatric and developmental therapy with extensive NDIS experience and a client-centred, strength-based approach. The team also includes administrative and operations staff (Elena Joss, Amber Nahim, Natalia Menna, Amy Cahill).

Your first visit

Initial appointments are typically available within 2 weeks of referral. At the first appointment, the team conducts comprehensive assessments to understand your child's needs, strengths, and goals. For specific services like ADHD assessments, the process includes an intake and assessment appointment followed by a feedback and report session to ensure an accurate diagnosis and detailed understanding of the condition. The team gathers information about challenges and barriers, but the focus is person-centred and strength-based. Referrals can be made through NDIS, private, schools, GPs, or NGOs, and families are encouraged to contact the team to discuss service fit and next steps.
