We don’t know if occupational therapy benefits kittens, but this adorable monster definitely benefits OT Elly 😊
With thanks to a beautiful family that treats us like one of their own. We love home sessions!

It’s not often this team of generally amazing humans are all together in the one place.
And when they are, they sneak around and create a super thoughtful and beautiful birthday gift that made the boss (of indeterminate age) cry.
I am so proud and grateful to have each of you as part of Hello Rainbow. Just the best.

We've been hanging to introduce our new speech pathologist, Cassandra. Cass is loving meeting local families and is already making an impact with her warmth, humour and a frankly staggering amount of knowledge. 🌈💛

The things you discover during rambling phone calls…
This beautiful book written and illustrated by a Hello Rainbow family dropped into the office today
“Some things can be counted. Others aren’t so easy to measure”.
Encouraging consideration of the big things, the things we can’t measure but that mean so much, is no easy task. We love love love this book and the thoughtfulness within.
We wish we were this talented.
How Big is the Sky is available to buy now 💕🌈

A new face for the Hello Rainbow team means we're supporting more wonderful little people in our part of the world.
And check out those earrings!

12 months (and a bit more) of this absolute gem. Our OT Kit never fails to raise a laugh in the office and we know families love her to bits (as do we).
Thank you Kit - you’ve brought so much to Hello Rainbow and we wouldn’t be the same without you. 🌈💜

🌈Therapy at home or school isn’t about convenience — it’s about access and equity.

🌈It’s about giving children the consistent, quality therapy they need and deserve.

Under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements due to come into effect on July 1st, allied health providers (like us) are facing serious viability issues.

A 50% cut in travel rates (as well as a price freeze for the 6th year in a row) means that we simply won’t be able to reach as many families.
It means that in some cases, we'll be forced to rethink how we continue to support the beautiful families that place their trust in the Hello Rainbow team.

We love what we do and we value our relationships with families & communities so highly. But we’re being asked to do more, for less, and it’s not sustainable.

When we met Jo, we knew she had to be a part of the Hello Rainbow team. Having grown up with a large family, she still prefers to be at the kid's table. We look forward to introducing her to Hello Rainbow families and learning more about her obsession with UNO.

We've been hearing wonderful things about Zoe for a couple of years, and have been quietly encouraging her over to the rainbow side...
We're so excited that she's taken the leap to join us!🌈
