Job description

Adapt and Learn is a privately owned paediatric therapy service, founded by parents of neurodivergent children. We are a passionate, multidisciplinary team of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Assistants, united by a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young people.

We provide a range of therapy services across both clinic and community settings, working closely with children and their families to support their individual needs, strengths and developmental goals.

As parents ourselves, we understand first hand the difference that compassionate, dedicated and knowledgeable therapists can make in a child's growth and development. Our own lived experiences have shaped the way we approach therapy and strengthened our belief that parents are the experts in their own children. We value building genuine relationships with families and believe the best outcomes come from working together through open communication, collaboration and a supportive, nurturing environment.

At Adapt and Learn, we believe our role extends far beyond simply providing therapy. It's about building connections, empowering families, celebrating progress and creating meaningful, lasting differences in the lives of the children and families we support.
