How we'll work together
Discovery Call
A free 15-minute phone call to understand your child, your goals, and whether we're the right fit for you.
Assessment
We get to know your child through observation, play, and formal assessment tools. This helps guide our therapy plan.
Therapy
Your child starts regular therapy sessions that are engaging, empowering, and built around everyday routines.
Review
At set points along the way, we review progress, refresh goals, and make sure therapy stays aligned with your child’s needs.

We work with children from birth to 10 years old.
Yes! We support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. If you're unsure how that works, we can guide you through the process or coordinate with your plan manager.
Absolutely. We offer private sessions for families not accessing NDIS funding. You don’t need a referral to get started—just reach out and we’ll guide you from there.
We offer simple, secure payment options. For private clients, payment is due on the day of the session via bank transfer. If you're using NDIS funding, invoices can be sent directly to your plan manager or you can pay and claim if self-managed.
We offer both in-person sessions in the Kilcoy and Somerset region, and online therapy for families across Australia. We’re flexible and happy to work in a way that suits your child best.
Most therapy sessions run for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your child’s age, needs, and attention span. We’ll discuss the best option during your initial consultation.
Yes, we highly value collaboration. Children don’t experience challenges in isolation, so working together with other professionals helps us create more holistic, effective support. When the team is connected, it is likely to result in better outcomes for your child.
We don’t give traditional homework. But, your involvement between sessions is a key part of your child’s progress. Instead of setting extra tasks, we’ll work with you to find simple ways to build therapy into your everyday routines, like mealtimes, getting dressed, or having a bath. These small, meaningful moments are where real progress happens, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
This is a really common question, and we completely understand the confusion. The NDIS can be tricky to navigate.
Because we are a non-registered provider, we’re able to support self-managed and plan-managed participants. These types of participants have full choice and control, including the freedom to work with providers who may charge above the NDIS price guide.
We know this might sound unusual, but it's actually very similar to how you might see a doctor: sometimes Medicare covers the full amount, and sometimes there’s a small gap fee. The NDIS works in the same way when you’re self- or plan-managed.
We always aim to be upfront and respectful about our fees. We'll help you understand what your plan covers, so there are no surprises. You're never locked in to services you can't afford, and we're happy to work with you to make things as accessible as possible.
