We focus on building essential skills through structured, play based and goal driven therapy. We support a wide range of areas that contribute to your child’s development and independence.
We take a structured yet flexible approach that focuses on meaningful progress and long term confidence.
We begin by getting to know your child through a comprehensive assessment, identifying their strengths, challenges and goals to form a clear starting point.
We create a tailored therapy plan and deliver engaging, play based sessions focused on building the skills that matter most in your child’s daily life.
We track your child’s progress and work closely with you to ensure improvements carry over into home, school and everyday routines.
With the right support, your child can develop the skills, confidence and independence needed to succeed in everyday life.
Helping your child manage everyday tasks with confidence and independence.
Occupational therapy supports children in developing the everyday skills they need to take part in daily routines with greater independence. This can include activities such as dressing, eating, personal care and following structured routines at home or school.
Our Occupational Therapists support children in becoming more independent, confident, and capable in their daily lives—always in a way that’s fun, neuroaffirming, and tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Supporting your child’s ability to focus and engage in learning is an important part of their development. Our therapy helps children strengthen the skills needed to participate more effectively in classroom activities, follow instructions and remain attentive during tasks both at school and at home. Through personalised strategies and engaging activities, we help children build the concentration and organisation skills required for successful learning.
We also work on improving fine motor abilities that support writing, drawing and other classroom tasks. As children gain greater control, coordination and confidence in their abilities, they are better able to participate in lessons, complete activities and stay on track with their learning goals.
Movement plays a key role in a child’s physical development and confidence. Our therapy focuses on helping children strengthen their balance, coordination and overall body control so they can move more comfortably and confidently in everyday situations. Through fun and active sessions, we support children in developing the physical skills needed for play, sport and daily movement.
By improving strength, posture and body awareness, children can navigate physical activities with greater ease and stability. This helps them feel more confident when participating in playground games, sports and other activities that involve running, jumping and coordinated movement.
Children often need guidance and support to understand their emotions and respond to situations in a positive way. Our therapy helps children develop emotional regulation skills so they can better manage frustration, anxiety and other challenging feelings. We create a safe and supportive environment where children can learn strategies to express themselves and build resilience.
As children gain confidence in managing their emotions, they become more comfortable interacting with others and participating in social settings. This increased self-confidence encourages them to try new experiences, build stronger relationships and develop a positive sense of self.

“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.”
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).
