Helping families to discover their 'just right'!
We support young people and families with open hearts, curious minds, and a deep
commitment to genuine connection.
We celebrate neurodiversity, embrace uniqueness and empower young people to master their universe and beyond.
At GoldilOTs, we’re more than therapists, we’re teammates, cheerleaders, and co-explorers on every young person’s unique path. Our highly experienced therapy team helps young people harness their strengths, grow with confidence, and shine in their own way. We're here for the journey, every step of the way.
EMPOWERING EVERYDAY MOMENTS
At GoldilOTs, our experienced Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology team supports young people and their families to thrive in everyday life, from building brave to navigating routines and learning at home, kinder, school and in the community. Play, movement, nature and hands-on exploration are at the heart of what we do because we know learning happens best when kids feel safe, curious, and engaged.
We take a strengths-based, family-centred approach to assessment and support, grounded in deep clinical experience and a genuine understanding of each young person’s unique needs, abilities, and developmental stage.
We focus on what your child can do now, recognise the uniqueness and potential within, and work together to take meaningful steps toward their goals.
We proudly collaborate with families, educators, health professionals, and carers because we know real progress happens when everyone’s on the same team. Our therapy is flexible,
creative, and goal-driven, tailored to fit real life across a variety of environments.
