Trusted Paediatric Occupational Therapy for Sydney Families
Our paediatric occupational therapy in Sydney is trusted by local families who want the very best support for their children. We understand how challenging it can be when everyday activities, from getting dressed and feeding to playing or keeping up at school, feel harder than they should.
That’s where our team steps in. At South West Kids Clinic, our experienced occupational therapists help children build confidence, independence, and the practical skills they need for daily life. For children with more complex needs, we provide equipment, positioning, and strategies that make life safer and more comfortable. Your childs goals are our top priority always.
With purpose-built clinics to support occupational therapy in Prestons (Liverpool) and Picton (Wollondilly), we combine evidence-based therapy, advanced tools, and a family-focused approach. As part of our holistic model of care, our occupational therapists work closely with our speech pathology, physiotherapy, and dietetics teams to ensure every child receives coordinated support to reach their full potential, at home, at school, and in the community.

Theratogs
These wearable therapy garments provide improved postural control and feedback. Our team is trained in using Theratogs to address their clients’ individual musculoskeletal, postural, balance, or movement concerns and support your child with their movement and postural skills. These garments help enhance postural control and activate the somatosensory system. This results in improved trunk control and better use of the arms for functional tasks.
