We have been busy learning over the last couple of months! The OT team were lucky enough to spend 2 days with 2 leaders in the OT field - Anita Bundy & Shelly Lane on Play and it’s Neural Correlates! Then with the wonderful .stackhouse & on all things Polyvagal Theory. Our learning cups are very full and we are grateful for these opportunities.

We have a few places available for our Sept-Oct Food Explorers Groups.
In our Food Explorers Group, children can explore new foods in a safe and fun environment, engaging in hands-on cooking, group activities and building friendships, all while developing a more positive relationship with food. Using responsive feeding strategies, we focus on making mealtimes relaxed and enjoyable, encouraging children to try new foods without pressure.

There are many illnesses circulating at the moment. To help keep other children and staff well, please do not bring your child to the clinic if they are unwell or showing any symptoms.

📢 The 2025–2026 NDIS Price Guide has been released — and Allied Health pricing is now entering its 7th consecutive year of a price freeze. In some areas, pricing has even been cut. Our physiotherapy team has been directly impacted — and with reductions to travel funding, some offsite sessions may no longer be viable.

This is not just a funding issue — it’s a service access issue. Without fair and sustainable pricing, the future of disability support services is at risk, especially in regional and rural areas where outreach is essential.

We need your help to raise awareness. Please sign and share this petition so we can show decision-makers that disability support must be protected. Choice and control should never be optional.
