Sound familiar?
Is your child struggling with…
These challenges are more common than you think — and they respond beautifully to the right support, early.
- Difficulty with writing, drawing or holding a pencil
- Trouble getting dressed, eating or managing daily routines
- Sensory sensitivities — noise, textures, crowds, bright lights
- Poor concentration or difficulty sitting still at school
- Delayed fine or gross motor skills compared to peers
- Emotional regulation difficulties and frequent meltdowns
You're not alone — and these challenges are not a reflection of you or your child. Early assessment can identify the underlying factors and build a targeted plan that fits your family.
Inside the clinic
A space built for kids to thrive.
Dedicated sensory gym, motor skills room, and quiet calm-down spaces — all on-site in our Kogarah cottage clinic, with easy parking and ramp access.
What we offer
Paediatric OT services in Kogarah
Targeted, play-based OT — in clinic, at home, at school or via telehealth. Every plan is built around your child's goals, not a generic checklist.
Sensory Processing Therapy
Calm the meltdowns at the supermarket, the school gate and bath time. We map your child's sensory profile and build daily routines that actually work at home.
Fine & Gross Motor Programs
Buttons, scissors, riding a bike, catching a ball — play-based sessions that quietly rebuild strength, coordination and confidence.
School Readiness Support
Attention span, pencil grip, toileting, social play and following routines — everything your child needs to walk into the classroom feeling capable.
Home & School Visits
Skills practiced where life happens. We come to your home or your child's classroom across the St George region — no traffic, no transitions, real-world progress.
NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments
Detailed, plan-ready FCAs written by experienced paediatric OTs. Usually back to you within 2–3 weeks, not 2–3 months.

Questions?
We've got answers
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?+
If your child is struggling with daily tasks, school or development in ways that worry you, a occupational therapy assessment is a great first step. You don't need a referral to get started.
Is NDIS funding welcome?+
Yes — we welcome both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants and we'll help you understand how to make the most of your child's funding.
Do you accept Medicare and private health?+
Yes. We accept all major private health funds with on-the-spot claiming — no waiting for your rebate. Children with a GP Management Plan are also eligible for Medicare rebates.
How long are sessions?+
Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes depending on your child's age and goals. We'll recommend the best structure after the initial assessment.
Do you offer home & school visits?+
Yes — we come to you across the St George region. Skills practiced in real environments stick.
Do you offer telehealth?+
Yes, telehealth sessions are available for families who prefer the flexibility. Many families find it just as effective as in-clinic.
Is your clinic accessible?+
Yes — our Kogarah cottage clinic has easy on-street parking and ramp access at the entrance, so prams and wheelchairs are welcome.
