⭐️Meet our newest team member - TARA ⭐️

Tara is a passionate occupational therapist who loves supporting children to develop new skills, build confidence and gain independence in everyday life. She graduated from Curtin University with a Masters of Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor of Health Science.

Tara has experience working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and communities. Tara spent three months volunteering in Zambia where she supported parents of children with disabilities, deepening her appreciation for inclusive, culturally sensitive practice and the importance of empowering families. She also has experience supporting adults experiencing mental health challenges, which has shaped her holistic approach to promoting participation in meaningful daily activities.

Tara values building trusting relationships with children and their families, taking the time to understand each child’s unique strengths, interests and goals. She aims to create a positive and engaging therapy environment where children can learn, grow and develop their skills through meaningful activities and play.

In her spare time, Tara loves travelling (34 countries and counting!), snowboarding, swimming, scuba diving and spending time with her family, especially playing with her two nieces 🤿🏂☀️✈️

Make sure to say hello when you see Tara in clinic 👋💛

Turns out clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills don’t always transfer from the clinic to the escape room…

Who cracked under pressure and who cracked the codes the quickest?

Today’s little chef was on pizza duty! 👨‍🍳

From putting on the chef outfit to choosing the toppings, cooking was the perfect recipe for practising fine motor skills, coordination, independence and following instructions… with a very dough-lightful reward at the end 🍕

Toothbrushing may seem simple, but from an OT lens, it’s so much more than minty chaos 🪥

Look at all the incredible skills we are building:
🧘‍♂️ Postural control to sit tall
🤝 Bimanual coordination to manage the brush and paste
💪 Grip strength and hand control to direct the brush
🤸‍♂️ Shoulder & wrist mobility to reach all areas
🧠 Motor planning to sequence the steps
🪞 Visual referencing in the mirror
👄 Oral motor control for brushing and spitting
👅 Sensory tolerance for bristles, foam, and taste
⏱️ Attention and persistence to finish the job

Basically, we’re squeezing a whole lot of functional skill development out of one tiny tube of toothpaste! We are so proud of you Zak 🥳

Meet our new occupational therapist - BEC ✨

Bec graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Occupational Therapy)(Honours) from Curtin University. She began her career working across acute and rehabilitation hospital settings with adults, where she developed strong clinical reasoning skills and a deep appreciation for functional, goal-directed therapy. During her university placements and honours research focusing on children with cerebral palsy, Bec discovered her passion for paediatrics and supporting children with complex physical needs.

Bec is passionate about helping children build confidence, independence, and everyday life skills through therapy that is engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths and goals. She values a family-centred and collaborative approach, recognising the importance of empowering parents and caregivers with practical strategies that can be embedded into daily routines. Bec is particularly interested in supporting children to develop functional skills that enhance participation at home, school, and within their community.

Outside of work, Bec enjoys beach days, travelling, cooking, and spending quality time with friends and family 🏖️✈️👩‍🍳

Make sure to say hello if you see Bec on a Monday or Wednesday in clinic 👋
