Children’s therapy services
Inner West Sydney
At Plumtree, we help children grow by building on their strengths wherever they live, learn, and play. Our team of specialists – including occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, positive behaviour specialists, and early childhood educators – make learning and development fun and meaningful for your child.
Sessions can happen wherever your child feels most comfortable – at home, in early childhood centres, at school, in the community, or at our Marrickville centre. We focus on providing therapy and support in the places that matter most to your child’s growth.
We know that families play the biggest role in a child’s development because they spend the most time with them. Our goal is to work alongside families, providing therapy and support to help you feel confident in encouraging your child’s development and success.

Frequently asked questions
Why do our therapists work closely with parents?
Our therapists believe parents know their children best. By working closely with you during sessions, we ensure the goals are practical and achievable. We then create personalised strategies tailored to your child’s unique needs. Professionals may come and go, but families are the constant support in a child’s life.
Good partnerships between therapists and parents ensure that support and learning continue at home, leading to better outcomes for your child. This is because evidence shows that most of a child’s learning happens between therapy sessions. We give you the skills and strategies to make it happen.
How long are therapy sessions?
Sessions times vary but are mostly one hour long. However, they can be longer if that’s the best approach to meet your goals, with your agreement. Sessions can be scheduled weekly or fortnightly over an extended period, or as shorter blocks.
What happens during a therapy session?
Therapy sessions do not all look the same. Every family has their individual priorities so we tailor our sessions to meet your circumstances. For more information read our flyer.
What are the benefits of using a NDIS registered therapist?
NDIS registered providers meet strict government standards for safety, quality and reliability, which ensures your child receives high-quality support. These providers have verified credentials that safeguard your child’s well-being.
Plumtree is a registered provider of NDIS supports. Our children’s therapists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Plumtree is also a member of the Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network NSW, a trusted network of community-based child and family organisations known for delivering quality support. Contact us to get started with your NDIS funding.
Is my therapist also a key worker?
Yes. Your therapist has completed accredited key worker training to be your main contact at Plumtree. Key workers have the skills of the whole Plumtree team including speech therapists, physiotherapists, early childhood educators or behavioural therapists behind them, to provide the best care for your child. A key worker can offer five different types of support when you need them, addressing all the needs of your family. Learn more about Plumtree’s key worker approach to therapy.
