🌟 How Does Play Help Children in Therapy (and at Home)? 🌟

At Sydney Kids OT, we use play-based therapy because children learn best when they’re having fun. By following their interests, we can build skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

Here’s how play helps children grow:

🎲 Motivation – Kids are more engaged when they’re doing something they love.
🎨 Creativity – Imagination and problem-solving skills flourish through playful exploration.
💬 Connection – Play provides opportunities for emotional expression and social interaction.
🧗 Movement – Using different toys and equipment lets kids safely explore how their bodies move.

✨ Try this at home: Next time your child is playing, join in! Let them lead the game. Whether it’s building a cubby with cushions, pretending to cook in a toy kitchen, or making up a new game with blocks, you’ll be encouraging creativity, communication, and confidence — all through play.

👉 At Sydney Kids OT, we build therapy sessions around this same idea: when children are having fun, they’re also developing skills for life.

From Toddlers to Teenagers – Meet Henry

Henry started OT with us when he was just two years old — and today he’s 13!

From day one, Henry has greeted us with the biggest smile, and that hasn’t changed. With the support of his amazing family, he’s always off on an adventure, from skiing holidays to the Melbourne Grand Prix.

While communication hasn’t always been easy, Henry has worked hard to express himself and loves telling us what he’s been up to on the weekends. He’s passionate about school, running, and anything to do with racing cars.

Watching Henry grow into the incredible young man he is today has been an absolute privilege. He’s already achieved so much and we have no doubt the best is yet to come.

🎉 Evan just turned 18 — and we couldn’t be prouder!

He’s been coming to Sydney Kids OT for over 10 years, and while he’s technically no longer a “kid,” Evan still chooses to continue his sessions with Michaela each week.

From mastering handwriting and self-care to taking on new life skills like shopping at Westfield, Evan’s grown in leaps and bounds.

What Makes Sydney Kids OT Different?
At Sydney Kids OT, we believe happy therapists create the best outcomes for kids and families. Here are 5 ways our unique approach supports both our team and the children we care for:

1. Supportive, Close-Knit Environment
Our small, dedicated team works together to provide consistent, personalised care. This creates a warm, welcoming space for both therapists and families.
2. Genuine Work-Life Balance
Our therapists are encouraged to prioritise their wellbeing, whether that means taking time for a gym session, a swim, or a quiet break. When our team feels energised and balanced, they can give their best to every child.
3. Therapist-Led Specialisation
We empower our OTs to work in their areas of passion and expertise. This means your child is paired with a therapist who is not only highly skilled, but also deeply invested in their progress.
4. Low Staff Turnover
Our team sticks around, and that stability matters. Families benefit from ongoing, trusted relationships with familiar faces.
5. Expert Mentorship
Our director brings over 25 years of experience to mentor our therapists, ensuring high-quality care and continuous professional growth.

Whether you’re a parent seeking thoughtful, consistent therapy for your child, or an OT looking for a supportive place to grow — Sydney Kids OT is different, by design.

Could your child benefit from Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy can help children by identifying the areas that may impact their success and then help them to build the foundational skills required for play, learning and independence.

Here are a few signs to look out for:

1️. Difficulties with fine motor skills – like holding a pencil or using scissors
2️. Sensory Processing – overreacting/underreacting to touch, sound, or textures
3️. Difficulty focusing or sitting still for tasks
4️. Struggles with everyday activities – like dressing, feeding, or using cutlery
5. Emotional Regulation- difficulties with behaviour or social interaction

Early support can make a big difference! Reach out to us if any of these feel familiar.

Join Our Team

We’re hiring a paediatric OT – and we do things a little differently.

At Sydney Kids OT, you won’t be working to KPIs or squeezed into a one-size-fits-all system. This is a contractor role for an experienced therapist who values flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful client connections.

You’ll be part of a small, supportive team where care comes first – for the child, the family, and the therapist. You’ll also be personally mentored by Cara, our clinic founder with 25+ years of experience and a deep belief in doing things thoughtfully, not rushed.

Our therapists manage their own schedules, are trusted to work in their own style, and always know they have someone to turn to. It’s a calm, caring, truly family-first environment.

We’re based in Eastgardens with easy parking, long-standing referrer relationships, and a reputation for high-quality, family-centred care.
