• Our approach

  Sessions at Western Kids Health are tailored to each child's individual needs, focusing on physical, emotional, and cognitive development across the Early Intervention, Feeding, School Aged, Complex Care, Mental Health, Orthopaedic & Sports, and Gender Diversity clinics. The therapists use evidence-based care delivered in fun, dynamic, and engaging spaces specifically designed for babies, children, and teenagers to help them feel at ease. Appointments are longer than industry standard, allowing therapists to really listen and understand your family's needs. Treatment strategies are personalised, with take-home programs provided via written guides or mobile apps to support your child's progress outside the clinic. The team combines imagination, creativity, and their extensive experience to make the therapeutic work feel enjoyable and achievable for your child.

• Working with families

  The service prioritises family involvement as a core part of your child's care. The therapists involve siblings and family in sessions and customise treatments to support your child's overall development. The clinic takes time to listen and understand your needs during consultations, and clinicians advocate for your child across health, school, community, and sporting environments. Collaboration is central to the service philosophy—the team works to ensure everyone involved in your child's care is on the same page. Communication includes take-home programs and regular liaison to keep you informed and involved in your child's progress.

• Meet the team

  Western Kids Health has a professional multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and dietitians, all based under one roof. The clinicians are dedicated paediatric specialists who work exclusively with babies, children, and teenagers, holding extensive experience in physical, emotional, and cognitive development. They are committed to ongoing professional development to ensure they are equipped to address many paediatric conditions. The team approach means you have access to coordinated, collaborative care without needing to juggle multiple appointments across different locations.

• Your first visit

  At your child's first appointment, you can expect a thorough, personalised assessment tailored to your child's specific needs and circumstances. The therapist will take time to listen carefully to understand your family's situation and goals, with extended consultation time allowing for a comprehensive evaluation. Based on this assessment, the therapist will develop tailored treatment strategies designed specifically for your child. You will receive a take-home program via written guide or mobile app to support your child's development between sessions. The team works collaboratively with your family to ensure everyone understands the plan and goals for your child's care.
