Need OT Support? We’re Here to Help!

If your child needs Occupational Therapy support, we have some exciting news…

✨ OT capacity is opening from February with our amazing OT, Judy!
She brings warmth, experience, and a beautiful neuroaffirming approach — we know families are going to love her.

But if you’re hoping to get started sooner, we’ve got you.
You can begin immediately with one of our incredible Allied Health Assistants (AHAs).

Here’s how it works:
✔️ Book an initial session with one of our fab OTs
✔️ We’ll create a clear, individualised therapy plan
✔️ Your AHA can begin supporting your child straight away
✔️ Smooth transition into ongoing OT with Judy in February

This is a great option for families wanting early wins, continuity, routine, and a gentle start within The Place community.

📩 Ready to begin?
DM us, jump online www.theplacetherapy.com.au/refer-to-us or email hello@theplacetherapy.com.au
and our Client Experience Team will organise everything for you.

We’d love to welcome you into our village.🏠🧡

✨ Gratitude & Growth 2025 — What. A. Day. ✨

Our hearts are so full. Saturday was one of those truly special moments where everything The Place stands for came to life — connection, community, celebration, and the magic that happens when our village comes together.

From the laughter, the joy, the music, the Santa visits (with Elfie who was definitely NOT Harry 😆) and all the moments in between… this has genuinely been our favourite day of the year.

We are so unbelievably proud of our team — every single human who planned, set up, cooked, crafted, danced, soothed, supported, and showed up with their whole heart. You make The Place what it is.

And to our incredible families and community… thank you. Thank you for trusting us, for being part of this village, and for sharing your stories, your celebrations, and your beautiful kids with us.

Here’s to another year of growth, gratitude, and doing this journey together. 🏡🧡

With love,
Lara & Liz

A Milestone Made Possible by Our Village

We’re feeling incredibly grateful to share that our little village has been featured in the latest Westpac Backing Business magazine.

When we think about where we were this time last year — a tiny dream, a small team, and a big vision — it’s humbling to see how far we’ve come. But this moment isn’t about us… it’s about the community that has grown around The Place.

Every family who has trusted us, every child who has welcomed us into their world, every school and referrer who collaborates with us, and every member of our incredible team — you are the heartbeat behind this feature.

Our vision has always been clear:
✨ Build connection.
✨ Create belonging.
✨ Support families in a way that feels human, kind, and real.
✨ Grow a village where everyone feels seen.

We are deeply thankful to Westpac for shining a light on community-centred businesses and for backing female founders who are driven to create meaningful change.

Thank you for being part of our story — and for letting us be part of yours.
Here’s to continuing to grow, learn, and build something beautiful together. 💛

🌟WHAT MAKES THE PLACE SO SPECIAL? 🌟
Every day, we’re in absolute awe of the incredible humans who make up The Place Occupational Therapy & Family Support.

Our team is the perfect blend of clever and kind — therapists with deep lived experience, big hearts, and a genuine love for helping others grow. 🌿

They bring laughter, creativity, and compassion into every session — whether they’re rolling on the floor with a sensory seeker, finding the right words with a young communicator, or holding space for a parent who just needs to breathe for a moment.

We are so lucky to do this work, in this place, with these people. 💛

If you’ve been looking for a team that leads with humanity and fun — you’ve found your village.

NEED SPEECH? LET'S TALK
💛 We’re excited to share that our amazing Speech Pathology team at The Place currently has new appointment spaces available!

Our speechies work with people of all ages to support communication in all its forms — speech sounds, language development, AAC, literacy, social communication, stuttering, mealtime skills and swallowing.

Using neuro-affirming, play-based approaches, our goal is always the same — connection, confidence, and communication that feels authentic.

🌿 We welcome NDIS (self or plan-managed), Medicare, and private clients.

Ready to learn more? Reach out to our Client Experience team at hello@theplacetherapy.com.au
or visit www.theplacetherapy.com.au/refer-to-us to refer today!

Because every way of communicating deserves to be supported. 💬
