Every member of our dedicated team is committed to providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, ensuring every child can unlock their fullest potential.
At South West Kids Clinic, we believe in the power of partnership. Our approach to children’s therapy is profoundly collaborative and customised to your family’s unique needs. From the very first visit, we’re here to listen and understand your child’s individual challenges and aspirations. Together, we’ll create an individualised program that integrates progressive therapies and innovative treatment techniques, all aimed at assisting your child in achieving exceptional results, no matter how big or small the goal.
Beginning therapy is an important step for any family. At South West Kids Clinic, we make the process clear and supportive so you can feel confident from the start.
Our paediatric team provides speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and dietetics for children aged 0–18 across South West Sydney, using evidence-based approaches every step of the way.
The journey begins with a short questionnaire and assessment to understand your child’s needs. Together, you and your therapist then set meaningful goals and create a practical plan to achieve them.
Therapy sessions are engaging and may also involve collaboration with teachers, health professionals or equipment suppliers.
Home practice is encouraged with activities tailored to your routines, helping your child make faster progress.
Every three months, we review goals, celebrate achievements and adjust priorities. When therapy is no longer needed, you’ll receive a clear discharge summary and guidance for the next stage of care.
At South West Kids Clinic, our Occupational Therapists dedicate themselves to enhancing your child’s independence in daily activities by using the most up to date treatment techniques and therapy tools. Whether mastering their motor skills, improving their participation in play, adapting tasks for easier completion, or recommending the right equipment and assistive tools, our team ensures your child can participate more fully in everyday life with greater autonomy.
Our Speech Pathologists are here to unlock your child’s potential in everyday communication, eating, and drinking. We aim to empower your child to communicate effectively and confidently, helping them express their thoughts and feelings easily. We strive to create safe and joyful mealtimes by supporting your child’s independence and ability to eat and drink safely and effectively.
Movement is at the heart of what it means to be active and engaged. Our Physiotherapists are committed to improving your child’s physical capabilities through innovative techniques and the latest therapeutic equipment. We focus on enhancing mobility, strength, and coordination, which are crucial for participating more actively in physical activities and improving overall quality of life.
Proper nutrition is foundational for children, especially those facing physical challenges. Our Dietitians provide customised nutritional plans that cater to the unique needs of children with disabilities. We ensure each child receives the nutritional support needed for optimal growth, development, and learning.
We always seek passionate, skilled professionals to join our growing team at South West Kids Clinic. If you are interested in working with children requiring neurorehabilitation, are dedicated to making a real difference in their lives, and thrive in a collaborative, innovative environment, we would love to hear from you.
The best time to start therapy is when you notice any developmental delays or concerns in your child. Early intervention is crucial as it can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment, helping your child achieve the best possible outcomes.
The frequency of therapy sessions typically depends on your child’s specific needs and goals during the initial assessment. Most children benefit from weekly sessions, but we may suggest more or fewer visits based on your child’s progress.
Put simply, the greater your involvement is in therapy, the quicker your child will gain results. For this reason, we only work with families actively involved in their child’s therapy. This includes collaborating to establish goals, participating in therapy sessions, completing practice between sessions and providing feedback to your therapist about progress between sessions.
Our team conducts comprehensive assessments to understand each child’s strengths and challenges. Based on these assessments, we develop individualised therapy plans that are continually adapted to reflect progress and changing needs.
You can contact our clinic directly or via email to discuss your child’s needs. Our reception team will ask quick questions about your child to determine the next steps required.
Therapy sessions are primarily completed in our clinic; however, we occasionally recommend contacting the school or child care to observe your child and consult with the teachers regarding valuable strategies to promote success in the classroom or playground. Occasionally, ongoing sessions are suggested; however, this is based on clinical need rather than convenience.
