How do I book an appointment?

The easiest way is to get in touch with us directly — you can call or email, and our admin team will help you find a suitable time and therapist. If you’re new to Little Bodies Therapy, we’ll also organise an initial assessment intake call before your first session so we can learn all about your child and their goals.

Do I need a referral to start therapy?

No referral needed. Families are welcome to self-refer at any time. Health professionals, teachers or support coordinators can also refer if preferred.

What should I bring to the first session?

Before your first face-to-face session, you’ll have a 45-minute intake call with your therapist. During that call, we’ll let you know if anything specific is helpful to bring, such as mobility equipment, school reports, NDIS documents, or items your child enjoys for comfort or motivation.

How long are sessions?

All therapy appointments run for 45 minutes, with additional time allocated outside the session for planning and clinical notes.

Do you offer Telehealth appointments?

Yes, we offer Telehealth for parent coaching, support appointments and certain therapy sessions where appropriate. If you’re unsure whether Telehealth would work well for your child, just ask — we’re happy to guide you.

Do you accept NDIS clients?

Yes, we work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. We are not NDIS-registered, so agency-managed plans cannot be billed.

Can I claim through private health insurance?

If you’re privately paying, we can issue invoices that you may be able to claim under your private health cover, depending on your fund and level of extras. Your child may also qualify for a Chronic Condition Management Plan, which your GP can assess and refer for. If eligible, this can provide up to five subsidised sessions per calendar year.

What payment options are available?

Invoices are emailed after each appointment and are due within seven days. If you require a different arrangement, please chat with our admin team and we’ll do our best to help.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We understand that life happens. We do have a cancellation policy outlined in your service agreement to protect our therapists’ time. If you need to change an appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so the spot can be offered to another family.

Where are you located?

We operate across two linked spaces on the same street in Balcatta: our Occupational Therapy Clinic at 3/231 Balcatta Road, and our Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology Warehouse at 4/235 Balcatta Road. Both spaces are bright, welcoming and fully equipped for play-based therapy.

Is there parking available?

Yes. There is ample free parking available directly out the front of both locations.

Is your clinic wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Our spaces are designed to support safe movement and access for all children and families. Change spaces and hoists are also available.

Do you work with children outside of Perth?

Yes. We support families from across Western Australia through Telehealth, one-off consult visits, or travelling to Perth for Intensive Therapy Blocks.
