As OT Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating our awesome OT team and this year’s theme, Participation Matters.

Participation looks different for every child. It might be joining in play, getting dressed, sharing a meal, exploring somewhere new or feeling safe and supported enough to give something a go. It’s about having the opportunity, choice and support to be part of everyday life in ways that matter to them.

Our OTs bring curiosity, creativity and care to helping children and families find their own way. They celebrate progress, adapt when things are hard and recognise the possibilities in everyday moments.

To our wonderful OT team: we see the thought, heart and effort you put into your work. Thank you for supporting children to feel included, build confidence and participate in the things that matter to them and their families.

What you do matters. And so do you.

🤝 Growing our community of support!
A warm welcome to @ and who have joined ENVISAGE as partner organisations.

By working together, we can help more families access the support, knowledge, and connections they need to navigate their child's developmental journey with confidence.

We're so glad to have you with us! Stay tuned for programs hosted by these two new partners!

We’re getting close to The What, Who & How of Very Early Infant Intervention workshop and we are really looking forward to having a group of passionate therapists together in Port Macquarie for this face to face training.

We have been busy behind the scenes making sure the content is practical and informed by the latest evidence. We also have some incredible little ones that will be joining us for some hands on practice!

One of the parts of the course we're particularly looking forward to is reviewing some of Vickie Meade's golden nuggets and muscles that are used by kids to compensate and the impacts this has on postural alignment and function.

There is something really valuable about practical learning and having the opportunity to explore this kind of clinical reasoning together, being able to look, discuss, question and hear how other clinicians are thinking.

If you’ve been considering coming but haven’t registered yet or know someone who would love to attend, we’re now getting close to the point where we need to finalise our numbers, so jump on and register or tag a friend before its too late.

The course is on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October in Port Macquarie.

THRIVING KIDS UPDATE 1 OCTOBER 2026
Today marks the beginning of the rollout of Thriving Kids in NSW
We know there are lots of questions and understandably, some anxiety about what this means for children and families.

So, what do we actually know?

Thriving Kids in NSW is being led by the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) and will be rolled out gradually. Some supports are expected to begin from today, with more services becoming available throughout 2027.

ATT submitted an Expression of Interest to be part of delivering Thriving Kids. We were not asked to tender, which prioritised delivery through non-government organisations, rather than private allied health practices like ours.

Right now, there is still a lot we don't know.
We don't yet know exactly what Thriving Kids will look like here in our local community.
We don't yet know who all of the local providers will be.

We don't yet have all of the detail about eligibility, intake and referral pathways or exactly how families will access the different levels of support.

There is certainly plenty of discussion and speculation happening, but until information is confirmed, we don't want to add to the noise.
What we can promise is that we will continue to follow the rollout closely and share clear, confirmed information with our community as we receive it.

And ATT is still here.
We know this is a stressful and uncertain time for many families. If you're unsure what these changes mean for your child, please ask us. If we know the answer, we'll tell you. If we don't, we'll do our best to find out and we'll be honest when the answer simply isn't available yet.

NEST UPDATE: Our funded NEST pilot is coming to an end and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported, shared, referred to and trusted this little program.

NEST was created to make it easier for families to ask questions about their baby or young child’s development early. The response from our community has shown us just how important this kind of early support is. So while the funded pilot is finishing, NEST ISN'T GOING AWAY!

We have secured some funding to continue NEST for babies aged 0–1 year and we will keep working to secure further funding so we can provide more developmental screening and early support to local families.

Why the change from 0–3 years to 0–1 year?
Our funding is currently limited, so we want to focus what we have on our very youngest children, where access to early screening and support can make such a difference. With Thriving Kids beginning to roll out in NSW, we are also hopeful that older toddlers and young children will have greater access to early supports through the new system. As we learn more about what this will actually look like locally, we’ll keep our community updated.

Alongside NEST, we will continue to offer developmental screening and one-off assessments/consultations for families who need some guidance without necessarily needing ongoing therapy.

We’ve also introduced something new our Parent Support Burst. These short blocks of parent coaching sessions are designed for families who might just need a little support, some practical strategies, or help working through a particular developmental goal. They can be a wonderful alternative to ongoing therapy when ongoing intervention isn’t needed. There is lots more to come on this soon!

For now, we simply want to say thank you. To our families, GPs, early childhood educators, community organisations and everyone who helped us get NEST off the ground, thank you for believing in the value of supporting children and families early.

NEST might be getting a little smaller for now, but we’re certainly not finished.

HELP US FIND OUR NEXT OT!
We know the right person for our team might not be scrolling job ads right now… but we have a feeling someone in our community knows them.

At All Together Therapy, who joins our team matters to us.

Of course we want a great OT, but just as importantly, we’re looking for a great human. Someone who is kind, curious and collaborative. Someone who loves working alongside children and families, enjoys learning and sharing ideas and wants to be part of a team where people genuinely support each other.

We love the culture we’ve built at ATT and we trust our community to know the kind of person who would fit right in.

So we need your help!
- Share this post
- Tag an OT who you think would be amazing at ATT
- Send it privately to that friend who keeps saying “maybe it’s time for a change…”
- Or, if you’re an OT and this sounds a little bit like you, come and have a chat with us.

New grad, experienced OT, senior clinician, returning to the workforce or simply looking for somewhere that feels different, we’d love to hear from you.

The words we use are so important and can have such an impact on others. Last year we ran a PD and highlighted this exact point. Just because we used to use a word, doesn’t mean we should still use it.

The early intervention landscape is changing. Our commitment isn’t.💜
There is a lot happening across disability and early childhood supports right now.
Funding systems are changing. New programs and pathways are being developed. Eligibility and access are shifting. And for many families and professionals, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
Through all of that, there are some things we believe shouldn’t change.
Children deserve access to support early, when it can make a difference.
Families deserve to be listened to and included in decisions.
Support should build on a child’s strengths, relationships and everyday life.
And living in a regional community shouldn’t mean having fewer opportunities to access quality early intervention.
Pip and the ATT team remain committed to advocating for children and families across our region and working alongside our community as the system around us changes.
We don’t know exactly what early intervention will look like in the years ahead.
But we do know what we will keep working towards:
The right support. 
At the right time. 
In the right place. 
With children and families at the centre. 
We are proud to be supporting our local community and ensuring that local families have access to the supports they need. 
If you are concerned or have any questions in regards to the changes ahead please feel free to comment and we will do our best to provide you with up to date and accurate information.
