We’re hiring at SPOT 💛

We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our team for a 10-month parental leave contract from May 2026 to March 2027, with the potential for an ongoing part-time role.

At SPOT, we are a collaborative team of Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists working primarily in-clinic with some community based work for individual clients and as part of the Flying Start Initiative. This role offers the opportunity to deliver in-clinic therapy, work alongside speech pathologists in SPOT sessions, and support children and their caregivers across areas such as regulation, sensory processing, motor skills and independence.

We value a supportive team culture, ongoing learning with weekly opportunities for professional development, mentoring and support, early finishes, and work from home during school holidays.

We’re looking for a clinician who is compassionate, motivated, and committed to neuro-affirming, strengths-based, family-centred care.

A little moment of calm at SPOT 👂

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) refers to the gentle, often soothing sensation some people experience in response to certain sounds, textures or movements.

In this video, some of the materials are purpose-designed sensory tools we use in sessions. However, similar calming sensory experiences can also be found in everyday environments.

For many people, tuning into these small sensory moments can feel grounding and regulating, helping to slow things down and bring attention back to the present.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest sensory experiences that help us reset.

Save this for when you need a moment to slow down, or share it with someone who you think might enjoy a little calm in their day.

At SPOT, we often talk about the power of play and how the right toys can support communication, motor skills, problem solving, social interaction and regulation.

Toy Libraries Australia make that play more accessible.

Borrowing instead of buying allows families to rotate high-quality toys, reduce clutter and save money, while giving children access to a wider range of play experiences that gently scaffold development.

Beyond the toys, many toy libraries also create opportunities for connection and community, supporting families as well as children.

Play does not need to be expensive to be meaningful. Access and variety can make a powerful difference.

We’ve been so excited to kick off our Preschool Boost supports, with our team on the move across a number of long day care centres.

So far, our focus has been on getting to know each site, spending time with educators, understanding daily routines and schedules, and gaining insight into the challenges teams navigate across the day in areas such as speech, language, social interaction, motor skills, and regulation.

We’ve been working alongside centres to tailor goals for each site, and plan training and coaching that build on the strengths we already see in educators and teachers. Our next steps are focused on delivering this support in ways that can be easily embedded into everyday routines across the Flying Start sites we are working with.

It has been clear in every centre we’ve visited that educators are deeply committed to their role, and to continuing to learn, grow, and develop their skills to support children in these early years.

We feel very privileged to be welcomed into these spaces, and look forward to a successful and rewarding year ahead.

Behind every session is a team that learns together.

At SPOT, in addition to individualised mentoring our Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists each take part in dedicated peer mentoring sessions within their own teams. These sessions create space to share ideas, reflect on practice and deepen clinical thinking within each discipline.

Coming together as a broader team then allows us to bring those insights together, problem-solve collaboratively and provide thoughtful, evidence-informed support for the children and families we work with.

Because great care doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s built through connection, reflection and collaboration.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week 💛

This week is about recognising, valuing and celebrating the many different ways brains work.

Neurodiversity reminds us that differences in thinking, learning, communicating, moving and experiencing the world are part of natural human variation. These differences are not deficits to be erased, but identities to be understood, nurtured and respected.

At SPOT, we are committed to neuro-affirming practice. That means listening to children and families, honouring individual strengths and creating environments where every child feels safe, capable and valued for who they are. Our role is not to change who a child is, but to support their participation, wellbeing and confidence to thrive.

This week, and every week, we celebrate diverse minds and the unique perspectives they bring to our world.

We’re excited to be running April School Holiday Groups at SPOT.

These small, therapist-supported groups give children the chance to connect with others while building skills through engaging activities. Across the sessions, children will explore pizza making or sensory craft experiences designed to support communication, fine motor development, regulation, social interaction and confidence.

The Pizza Making Group focuses on hands-on cooking, food exploration in a sensory-safe environment, teamwork and functional kitchen skills.

Our Sensory & Craft Group encourages creativity while supporting fine motor control, sensory exploration and language through fun, hands-on making.

Groups are available for children aged 5–8 and 8–14, with NDIS, plan and self-managed and privately funded participants welcome.

If you’re looking for a supportive, engaging activity for your child these school holidays, we’d love to have them join us. Register your interest today.

Mealtime challenges are more common than many families realise. Sensory differences, anxiety, developmental factors and past experiences can all play a role.

With the right support and understanding, change is possible and it does not have to involve pressure or power struggles.

If mealtimes have been feeling hard in your home, you are not alone.

Contact SPOT Paediatrics today to learn more about how we can offer evidence-based support for you and your family.

International Women’s Day is a celebration of women everywhere. At SPOT, we are choosing to mark the day by recognising the women who lead, shape, and sustain the healthcare industry, while also celebrating the impact of women across every space and profession.

Healthcare is a female led industry in many ways. From therapists and nurses to doctors, administrators, educators, and support staff, women are at the heart of care. They are clinicians, advocates, researchers, mentors, business owners, and leaders. They are often the steady presence behind life changing moments for families.

Today we honour the women in care professions who show up each day with skill, empathy, and strength. We also celebrate all women in our community, in every field and every role. Your leadership, resilience, and contribution matter deeply.

Happy International Women’s Day 💜
