about us
Kids Club is a paediatric therapy club that is grounded on the idea of kids learning through fun in a safe, supportive space. We are a small family practice with a close team of occupational therapists, speech pathologists and physiothera-pists.
​
Our practitioners are all experienced in the field of paediatric therapy and in working with both private clients and participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Western Australia.
Families of all shapes and sizes, cultures, genders, religions and abilities are always very welcome at Kids Club! We can see you in one of our beautiful consulting rooms or at your home, school or in the community if this suits your child and family best.
​
Being a small club allows us to work closely and intensively with the amazing families that join our club. We know how important it is to get therapy started with kids as soon as you notice they may need some support. If you would like to join our club we can book you in as soon as you contact us!

My dream is to help children develop their movement skills, build self-confidence in their physical abilities and in doing these two steps, support their participation in play, exploration, sport and whatever activities motivate them. The ultimate reward of my job is the moment I see a child (and their parents!) realise that they can do more than they ever thought possible. Movement opens up life's doors to a child and their family for the long term. ”

Meet Sandeep
About Sandeep...
Sandeep has been a physiotherapist since 2021. He has worked with children with developmental concerns, musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, respiratory/lung issues, and in rehab pre/post-surgery.
Sandeep thinks physiotherapy works best when he actively listens to your child. They are the expert of how they feel and what motivates them. By learning about these things, he hopes to create non-threatening opportunities for them to try slightly tricky tasks, and build handy new skills.
If you know any great local eateries, he will gratefully take recommendations. Discuss your pets to make him jealous (his dog lives in Queensland) …
.
​
Sandeep's dream...
"My dream is that every child who comes to Kids Club for physio will get to say that they’ve had at least one positive experience with movement/physical activity. Developing movement skills is often key to supporting physical, mental and social wellbeing. I really do think even one positive experience can go a long way in terms of self-confidence, self-esteem, and willingness to try new things."
