1 whole year of Emma!

We are so lucky to have Emma on the team. Though she has only been with us for a year, she has contributed so much through her knowledge and ideas.

Emma has started up our OT Connect parent sessions available with no waitlist to the whole community for anyone looking for direct parent supports - whether that be ongoing or as a once off.
Emma saw the gap in opportunities for waitlist families or people just wanting some advice from an OT and so this initiative is all off the back of her idea.
These sessions can be booked directly through our website so if you would like the opportunity to work with Emma or know someone who is in need of some OT support, head to our website and check out Emma’s availability (the ‘stuck on waitlists’ tab).

We can’t wait to see what else Emma will achieve with our team in the coming years.

Meet Chantelle!

Chantelle has her first day out on the road today meeting clients after spending the last few weeks behind the scenes completing training, reading case files and conducting parent meetings.

Chantelle joins Grow With Me OT with 8 years of experience working across hospital and community based OT settings across Victoria. She is passionate about helping children to achieve their developmental milestones and occupational goals, as well as supporting their mental wellbeing.

We are so pleased to have Chantelle joining our team and wish her the best of luck with her first client-facing day. We hope you will all join us in welcoming her to the Grow With Me team 💜

What a week we had at Ready Rocket last week 🙌🏻

Our group had a blast, rocketing around the galaxy, learning about our emotions, energy levels and ways we can regulate our body.
This program is always a favourite of ours!

We’re looking forward to seeing all of your faces again in the coming weeks with the new school year starting up. Please reach out with any reports needed in term one as our OTs currently have plenty of admin time before regular sessions will ramp back up.

Groups start tomorrow!

We can’t wait to meet each of our group members tomorrow morning and we look forward to a fun week together ☺️

Unfortunately we have had a couple of last minute cancellations so we have 2 spots up for grabs if anyone has been umming-and-ahhhing about joining in Ready Rocket this week, this is your sign to go for it!

The group will run from 9am- 11am each morning of this coming week and focused on teaching children aged from 7-11 years about their emotions. The aim is to help kids to recognise the signals that their body is sending them to identify their emotion and energy level. Once we can do that, we then learn to regulate and adjust our energy levels to suit the next activity that we need to do, if necessary, by powering up or powering down. The space theme brings it all together with fun activities that we have fun doing together.

If you would like any more info, please send us a DM ASAP!
We’ll see you all tomorrow 🎉

Merry Christmas from our Grow With Me OT family, to yours 🎅🏻

Our team were able to celebrate the end of a big year with a wonderful lunch by the ocean at (minus a couple who unfortunately couldn’t make it). It is always so nice to spend time with our team, have some fun and enjoy each other’s company.

We hope everyone is able to enjoy some time with family and take some time to relax and rejuvenate, ready for 2026.
We have some exciting news coming for you in the new year, but for now we will be taking a break until we return for our groups on January 12th.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we have one spot left in Ready Rocket and a couple left for Baking Buddies.
If you cannot commit to a full week program, Baking Buddies is a great program to consider for building social skills and cooperation through cooking (which the kids LOVE)- with single sessions being an option for this one.

Let us know if you have any questions!
Our social media and enquiries email will be monitored intermittently.

Merry Xmas everyone! 🎄

Are you desperately looking for supports for your child but are stuck on waitlists?

We have recently launched a new service to support families in that exact situation.

OT Connect is a blank session blocked into our OT's calendar that can be booked into by any parent wishing to speak to an OT. The idea is that it can be a one-off appointment or as often as you would like to book yourself in.
The support and advice you will receive is from one of our experience OT's and will be personalised to your situation, based on the information that you provide us.
We aim to empower parents to feel confident to support their own child, whilst waiting for ongoing direct child therapy, or with one-off developmental concerns.

If this sounds like a service that would be useful to your family, follow the following link to our website and check out our availability.
There is no ongoing commitment, and we will aim to give you all of the strategies and resources that we can to promote your confidence.

The booking link and further information can be found here:
https://growwithmeot.com.au/stuck-on-waitlists%3F

Please reach out with any questions!

As this is a parent-focused telehealth service we are happy to provide support to parents located anywhere in Australia 😊

👨‍🍳 Baking Buddies Social Group is running from January 12-16th in our Longwarry Clinic!

$255 per session. NDIS or privately fundable.

Our team of Occupational Therapists will work with our group to prepare and cook some delicious recipes for the kids to take home and enjoy.

While developing motor, cognitive, self-care and safety skills through the occupation of cooking, the kids will also be developing important social skills by working in a group. Our OT's will support the children to share, take turns, collaborate and negotiate roles each day. We also find one of the biggest benefits of this program is the joy and pride the children often feel from successfully creating their own meal or treat and sharing it with their family.

If you are interested in signing up for our Baking Buddies program or would like some more information, please send us a message or email Michaela at enquiries@growwithmeot.com.au.

This group program is always a favourite of ours. We cant wait to see you there! Limited places available.

Our GWM OT team have been very busy and as a result, very quiet on our socials so we wanted to give everyone an update with what we’ve been up to as we rapidly approach the end of the year!

Check out if you would like to see the mess she has been making 😅 If you’re interested in attending, grab a ticket on our website or if you’re Gippsland based, keep your eyes peeled for a pop-up session over the school holidays!

Charlee- has finished uni for the year and has taken up extra days of client work to make sure all of our clients are finishing the year strong - thanks Charlee!

Michaela- has a new addition to the family - Opie. If you give us a call and can hear some barking in the background, this adorable little guy is the culprit! Despite that, Michaela is always by the phone ready to take any questions about Make Mess With Me, OT Connect or our January school holiday groups so give her a call if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to this last month of the year and all of the joy and celebration that comes with it. If there is anything that we can do for your child or family before we close on Dec 19 until Jan 12, please get in touch!

Happy OT Week to all of the wonderful OTs across the world!

At Grow With Me we celebrated with a team lunch and games in the office on Thursday. Once again we forgot to take a photo of all of us together, but we did manage to snap the winners of our OT Trivia with Naomi and Mel drawing equal 1st place with Charlee not far behind.

We would just like to reiterate how much we appreciate the hard work that each and every member of our team put in to the care and support of our valued clients and their families. Being an OT is never easy, but working in the NDIS space at the moment is particularly challenging. Your grit and determination to do what is best for your families despite all of the external forces working against you does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Big love to you all ❤️

All About Us

Grow With Me OT is a new, mobile paediatric Occupational Therapy service currently working with families in the East Gippsland area.

While our therapists are from Melbourne we are committed to providing quality services in rural and regional areas of Victoria where there is often limited access to support services.

Our Occupational Therapists come to you in your home, school or kindergarten to provide therapy services to children aged 0-18.

We can work with you to increase your child's fine and gross motor skills, social skills, emotional regulation and/or sensory regulation, self-care skills, attention and organisational skills.We are also able to help families access the NDIS.
