As a paediatric clinic, we have worked with infants as young as a few months old and have worked with adolescence and young adults aged early into their 20s.

We are located in Port Adelaide. We can travel as far as Sir Donald Bradman Drive to where it meets South Road, then north prior to the North-South Motorway (shown in photo above)

The cost of therapy sessions can vary depending on the duration and location of each session. During the client intake process, we can discuss specific costing with you. A breakdown or our therapy costs will also be provided in our service agreements for new clients.

A standard therapy session is 45 minutes in duration

Yes, you can. As the parent/caregiver, you are given the choice to be present in therapy sessions with your child.

Yes, we do. In addition to therapy at our clinic, our Occupational Therapists can do school, kindy or childcare visited therapy.

This is subject to location as there are additional travel costs associated with offsite therapy and is dependent on distance from our Port Adelaide based clinic. We endeavour to share travel costs between clients where possible.

This is also subject to each respective school or educational centre and whether they permit service providers on site for therapy sessions.

*Please note, we do not do home visits.

No. Please contact us at the clinic to enquire about a group or see the ‘Group Program Screening Interview’ process when you click on any of our group programs.

If your child has some difficulty with transitioning, we can allow the parent/caregiver to walk to child down to our group therapy room, then we ask parents/caregivers to either wait in the waiting room, or they can leave and come back at the end of the group session for pickup.

We like to have a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 8 participants to a group.

A standard group session is 60 minutes in duration. We do have a few groups that extend beyond this and go for 90 minutes. Our school holiday intensive often go for 6 hours.

Invoices for a group program are sent on a weekly basis following each session.

NDIS funding can be used for all our services including the group programs. You can have the choice whether program cost comes out of the core budget or the capacity building budget. Please speak with your plan manager or support coordinator to determine which budget is used for your child’s group participation.

Please note: For Puberty Plus programs, the handbook must come out of the core budget.

Our group programs run during school terms, with some programs being offered during school holidays as required in an intensive one-day format eg Well Girls, Being Boys, Gender Inclusive, Play Skills and Boredom Busters.
