Our Airport West clinic
A space for play-based sessions, just behind Westfield Airport West.
- 2/23 Louis Street, Airport West VIC 3042
- Some parking outside, with more at Westfield or Officeworks
- A bus stop about two minutes' walk away
At home
Therapy in your own space. We visit families across Melbourne's north west. Travel is charged for home visits.
At kinder and childcare
We work alongside educators, so the strategies keep going after we leave. Our team includes an early childhood teacher who knows kinder rooms inside out.
Sessions at kinder or childcare need the centre's agreement. We're happy to help arrange it. Travel is charged for kinder and childcare visits.
At school
Support within the school day, with practical strategies for teachers when they need it.
Sessions at school need the school's agreement. We'll work with them on timing. Travel is charged for school visits.
Online, by telehealth
The same play-based therapy, by video from home. It suits busy weeks, families further away, and young people who'd rather talk from their own room.
Gippsland
Our allied health assistant lives and works locally in Gippsland, supervised by our speech pathologists in person and by telehealth. That means regular support, close to home.
