Queensland Paediatric Allied Health Providing holistic & team-based care while recognising the varied and layered support children need.

The Gold Coast is home to the foundational clinic of Queensland Paediatric Allied Health (QPAH) where our dedicated allied health professionals aim to provide holistic and team-based care to the children and adolescents of our community. We recognise the varied and layered support children and their families need to reach their fullest potential, and this understanding is at the heart of our uniquely collaborative clinic. Our team of high-level clinicians work within our interprofessional model of care to support your child’s development across a range of areas. In helping each other, we are all better equipped to help your child thrive. Your child is at the centre of everything we do, and we look forward to working together to support and achieve their goals.

🌟 Welcome Back to School from the QPAH Team 🌟
We’re so excited to welcome our QPAH families to a brand-new school year. Whether your child is starting Prep or moving up a grade, this transition can bring a mix of excitement, nerves and new routines. Our team have put together some simple, practical tips to help your family ease into 2026 with confidence.
🗣️ From our Speech Pathologists - support communication and language from day one:
• Build a morning chat routine about the day ahead.
• Revisit school vocabulary like timetable, recess, library bag and instructions.
• Encourage storytelling after school with open-ended prompts.
• Keep communication tools (AAC, visuals, communication books) consistent across home and school.
✋ From our Occupational Therapists - set up routines that support independence and regulation:
• Practice school-day tasks at home (opening lunchboxes, packing bags, tying shoes).
• Create a calm, predictable morning rhythm.
• Support sensory needs with movement breaks, fidgets or quiet spaces.
• Check the fit of uniforms, shoes and backpacks for comfort and posture.
🎵 From our Registered Music Therapists - use music to support regulation, transitions and confidence:
• Start the morning with a familiar song or playlist to create a predictable, positive routine.
• Use rhythm to support tricky tasks - clapping, tapping or singing can help with pacing and focus.
• Create a “transition tune” for moments like getting in the car, packing bags or winding down after school.
• Encourage your child to express their day through music - humming, drumming on the table or choosing a song that matches their mood.
• If your child uses music for regulation, share their preferred songs or strategies with their teacher to support consistency across environments.
💛 A gentle reminder: every child settles into the school year at their own pace. If your child needs a little extra support with communication, regulation or transitions, our QPAH team is here to help. We’re cheering them on - and you too!
Wishing all families a positive, connected and confidence-building start to 2026.

🎵New in Music Therapy Sessions✨
Registered Music Therapist, Ellie is so excited to be sharing a beautiful new book in her sessions ✨📖
"Jassy Bear" by was inspired by one of Pauline’s clients, who communicates using an AAC device. This heartfelt story helps children understand that we all communicate in different ways - and that every voice matters.
At QPAH, we love resources that offer meaningful representation for our non‑verbal community and spark important conversations about communication, inclusion and connection. Stories like this help children feel seen, understood and celebrated.
We can’t wait to see the joy and learning this brings into Ellie’s sessions.
