Our paediatric occupational therapy service on the Gold Coast is designed to support children with a variety of developmental needs. Sessions are personalised to help each child reach their full potential.
Some children need extra help with gripping a pencil, using cutlery, catching a ball, or balancing.
Therapy focuses on building strength, coordination, and movement control through engaging activities.
Some kids find the world a bit too loud, bright, or overwhelming.
Everyday things—like the sound of a vacuum, the feel of certain fabrics, or the movement of a swing—might cause discomfort.
Occupational therapy helps kids learn ways to manage these sensitivities, so they feel calmer and more in control.
Getting dressed, brushing teeth, or sitting down for meals might seem simple, but for some kids, these everyday tasks can feel frustrating or even impossible.
Therapy breaks things down into small, achievable steps, using fun, hands-on techniques to help kids gain confidence in taking care of themselves.
Not every child finds it easy to make friends, share, or handle big emotions. Some struggle with turn-taking, while others get upset when plans change.
Therapy helps kids understand emotions, express themselves, and interact with others in a way that feels natural.
Preparing for school involves more than just academics.
Handwriting, concentration, and structured learning skills are all part of the therapy process to help children feel ready and capable.

Once approved, work with an NDIS-registered OT provider to create a therapy plan.
Public OT clinics offer government-funded therapy but often have long wait times.
Private OT clinics provide faster access and tailored treatment plans, covered by NDIS, Medicare, or private health insurance.
Private therapy is often the best choice for families needing consistent, ongoing support without long delays.
If your child struggles with motor skills, sensory processing, daily tasks, or social interactions, an OT assessment can help. Signs include:
Difficulty holding a pencil, using utensils, or dressing independently
Sensitivity to sounds, textures, or movement
Trouble making friends or understanding social cues
Struggles with concentration or following instructions
Early support leads to better outcomes. If you’re unsure, a consultation can provide clarity.
