Free play in nature is one of the best child health interventions. Which is why its a core part of what we do everyday 💚

Free play outdoors -- where children are up close and personal with nature -- is so incredibly valuable.

How amazing it is to know that you can help your child's physical, mental and emotional health simply by letting them play outside!

We spend a lot of time talking to families about play, time outside, taking reasonable risks and giving kids opportunities to explore what their bodies can do.

We don't leave those ideas at work. We believe it for our own families too. 💚

No therapy equipment required. Just a fallen tree, a Saturday afternoon and the irresistible need to see how far out we could get.

Happy Pyjama Day! ✨💙

We’re wearing our PJ’s to support foster kids with big dreams.

Our very own Jules, who is the voice on the phone when you ring, is a PJ angel and volunteers with the foundation every week.

Support us, to support them!

There is so much happening here.

Grip strength.
Balance.
Shoulder stability.
Movement over natural obstacles.
Visual scanning.
Hand-eye coordination.

But also…

Joint attention.
Cooperation.
Turn taking.
Resilience.
Friendships.
Connection 🌿

You might see some of these skills on a worksheet, but you would miss the real-world integration and, most importantly, the joy.

This is the beauty of nature-based therapy. So many opportunities for growth woven into play, challenge and belonging.

We will remember them.

This ANZAC Day, we pause to honour all the men, women and animals who have served, and those who continue to serve.

We are deeply grateful for their sacrifice in protecting our country and way of life. It is no small thing, and its impact is carried for a lifetime.

Lest we forget.

Day in the life as a paediatric OT

Group therapy is fun.
It’s also loud, complex and full of demands.

If your child comes home overwhelmed, it doesn’t mean it didn’t work.

It often means it did.

And that’s a wrap on Day 1 of Block Busters these Easter holidays 🎬

New friendships made and old ones rekindled.
Imaginations unlocked.
Paint squelched under toes and splashed across boxes.
Wars won… and lost.
Cooperation and sharing woven throughout.

Most importantly there was joy, laughter and fun throughout.

We can’t wait for Day 2 ✨

A big shout out with our thanks to for letting us use their amazing space all week.
