What South helps with

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.

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

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.

Dietetics

Evidence-based assessment and advice from an Accredited Practising Dietitian on food, nutrition and eating behaviours. For children, this often covers fussy eating, growth concerns, food allergies and healthy development; for adults it covers medical nutrition management and general health.

Therapy Intensives

Concentrated therapy programs designed for accelerated progress.

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.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Support for individuals who have difficulty communicating verbally, using tools such as picture boards, speech-generating devices and apps. AAC therapists assess communication needs and teach both the individual and their support network to use these systems effectively.

Serial Casting

Therapy that helps individuals recover function and independence following illness, injury, surgery or disability. Rehabilitation may include specialised techniques such as scar management and serial casting as part of a broader recovery plan.

Functional Electrical Stimulation / TASES

Advanced therapeutic technique for muscle activation and movement.

Splinting

Custom orthotic devices to support positioning and function.

Theratogs

Therapeutic garment system for postural support and movement facilitation.

Working with families

The clinic believes in partnership, making family collaboration central to therapy. Parents and carers are involved from the first visit in setting meaningful goals and creating the practical plan to achieve them. Home practice is encouraged with activities tailored specifically to your family's routines to support faster progress. The team communicates regularly through three-monthly goal reviews where you celebrate achievements together and adjust priorities. Therapy may involve collaboration with teachers and health professionals, keeping you informed and connected throughout your child's care.

The multidisciplinary team includes Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, and Dietitians. The clinic has over 15 years of dedicated service and draws on knowledge of movement disorders and training from international leaders in the field. Occupational Therapists focus on enhancing independence in daily activities using up-to-date treatment techniques. Speech Pathologists work on communication, eating, and drinking skills. Physiotherapists improve physical capabilities through innovative techniques. Dietitians provide customised nutritional plans for children's unique needs.

Your first visit

The journey begins with a short questionnaire and assessment to understand your child's individual needs. From the very first visit, the therapist listens carefully to understand your child's challenges and aspirations. Together with you, your therapist sets meaningful goals and creates a practical plan to achieve them. Every three months, the team reviews progress, celebrates achievements, and adjusts priorities as needed. When therapy is no longer required, you'll receive a clear discharge summary and guidance for the next stage of care.
