The Whole Child Allied Health provides mobile, clinic-based and online therapeutic support.
We are an established Private Practice based in the North-East Suburbs providing evidence-based services.
We exist to be an encouraging, fun and relatable voice in the disability field. Our goal is to make meaningful life changes and assist families and children in unlocking their full potential. Families are coached and supported to achieve their goals and to not be dependent on ongoing therapy. Fun and engagement are key to all we do. We are a small team, but we pack a big punch - working hard together to smash big goals and make a big difference in the lives of the families we support.
We use a strengths-based approach, focussing on what the person can do and building upon their existing skill set to work towards achieving their goals. Comprised of a team of Developmental Educators, we are Allied Health Professionals often referred to as DEs. DEs focus on building functional, social and daily living skills, increasing independence and confidence and enhancing social inclusion, identity and sense of self.
We work with individuals in a variety of settings
-
Mobile
Mobile therapy means that we provide support in your or your child’s natural, everyday environment. That could be their kindy, their school or their workplace. This environment often provides the most optimal outcomes for learning and the generalisation of their new skill set. It also enables inter-professional collaboration, where we can empower educators and staff to continue to deliver support or work on their goals in their day-to-day life.

Clinic Based
A temporary clinic is currently being utilised in the North East Suburbs whilst we await for the finalisation of a more permanent hub. Clinic spaces can be beneficial for young children and those requiring a more structured environment.
