Children's Allied Health
The children’s allied health team assess and treat children with developmental delays, including physical, cognitive, and social-emotional challenges. We work in partnership with parents/carers, educators, and other healthcare providers to create a supportive environment. The care provided is tailored to the specific needs of each child and family.
Our team consists of Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy.
