Waverley Kids Therapy

As a kid, I have fond memories of going to the Australian Open with my family and watching all of my favourite players.. (Big Pat Rafter fan! Sampras.. Showing my age now)…
Today was a highlight, venturing out to the AO with the teens group! So many fun moments today as they all experienced being a spectator of tennis matches, cheering on our Aussie players and taking in the atmosphere of the grounds. 🎾

Highly recommend checking out Opening Week of the Australian Open before the draw begins! 🏆

I'm excited to share our new therapy space in Ashburton as Occupational Therapy sessions resume for 2026!

Each setup in every session is different and deliberate- tailored to each child’s interests, sensory preferences and goals… I am loving this new space!

Happy New Year!

Skip the waiting room – get care from home! 🏡💻

If your child gets sick or hurt and it’s not life-threatening, you don’t always have to rush to the hospital. The Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED) is a FREE online service that connects you with emergency doctors and nurses by video, anytime, day or night.

👩‍⚕️ Paediatric specialists are available, so your child can be seen by someone who understands kids. They can:
🔹 Give expert advice
🔹 Write prescriptions
🔹 Point you to local care if needed

All without the stress of waiting rooms! Most families are seen within 30 minutes. It’s quick, easy, and free.

👉 Find out more or join the virtual waiting room here: https://www.vved.org.au/

They have different weights and sizes. May have bought one for myself 😉

Happy World Teacher’s Day! 🌍 👩‍🏫

As an Occupational Therapist, I’ve been fortunate to have worked with so many incredible teachers in our schools who are doing their best to support all students to thrive, and love learning.

I still remember two main teachers in my primary and secondary years, Mrs Jenkins (Mount View P.S) and Ms Dickson (MacRob) who made such a positive impact to my life and inspired my interest in Sciences and Biology….

Thank you the teachers who go above and beyond to ensure the inclusion of all children of all abilities and strengths! 🌟
