Do you have an NDIS plan? Lifestart supports children and young people through tailored Physiotherapy delivered by passionate and qualified experts who have helped countless children and young people reach their full potential.
Does your child need help to:
- learn new skills to move independently?
- improve gross motor skills to sit, crawl, walk, run, jump and have fun?
- improve balance and coordination to join in sporting teams and social activities?
- access the right equipment to participate in activities with family and friends?
A physiotherapist can help your child to:
- develop skills to be more mobile and independent in daily activities
- learn to move independently, for example to sit up from the floor, crawl and walk
- improve balance and coordination
- participate in hydrotherapy (aquatic physiotherapy)
- access specialised equipment, including standing frames, walkers, wheelchairs
- participate in sport, exercise and other activities in the community
Services can be provided at home, at the child’s school or early childhood centre, at one of our Lifestart offices, delivered online, or even in the community (e.g. park or shops).
To help us match you with the right available support, we need you to answer a few questions by filling out the simple web enquiry below. One of our Customer Experience Specialists will match these answers against current availabilities and be in touch.
Services for schools
Lifestart physiotherapists are available to work within schools and early childhood settings to assist with mobility, positioning, hydrotherapy, equipment, and sport.
The Lifestart Difference
We not only work directly with your child or young person to build their skills and confidence, we also work with the important people in your child’s life, such as parents, siblings, educators, coaches and extended family, so that you have the knowledge, skills and confidence to support your child and their development everyday.
