What Sets Us Apart
We’re so glad you’re here
Childhood is full of possibility!
We support child development and wellbeing through play-based occupational therapy, helping children build the foundations needed to grow, connect and feel confident in everyday life.
Every child has their own strengths, needs and way of experiencing the world. We take the time to understand yours, and work with your family to find the support that fits.
Where would you like to start?
The Whole Child, The Whole Village
We see the whole child. We value the whole village.
Everything starts with getting to know your child. We celebrate what makes them uniquely themselves and work alongside the people who know them best.
Therapy as Unique as Your Child
Evidence-informed therapy tailored to your child.
No two children are the same, so no two therapy journeys are either. We personalise support around your child's strengths, needs, and way of being.
A Studio Built
for You
Purpose-built for children, families and therapists.
From lighting and acoustics to layout, sensory zoning and materials, every part of our award-winning Broadview studio was considered to create a better therapy experience.
A Team That Grows Together
Always learning. Always growing.
Our therapists learn from each other, invest in supervision and keep developing their clinical knowledge, because good therapy should never stand still.
Our Services
How we walk alongside your child.
From individual therapy and assessments to mealtime support, groups and intensive therapy, our services are designed around your child and the everyday things that matter to them.
We also work within schools and early learning settings, helping support children in the places where they learn, play and participate.

About Us
Playful, evidence informed paediatric OT.
Motivate Kids is a private paediatric occupational therapy practice established in 2017, supporting children from infancy through to early adulthood, across all stages of development.
We help children build the skills they need to feel capable and confident – at home, at school and in their community. Our purpose-built studio in Broadview is a place where therapy looks like play, and where small, thoughtful moments lead to meaningful, lasting change.
Who we support
Every child’s journey is different and that’s something we embrace.
Children and young people come to Motivate Kids with different strengths, ways of experiencing the world and reasons for seeking support.
Some families come to us with a diagnosis or a clear idea of what they’re looking for. Others have simply noticed parts of everyday life where their child could use some extra support or understanding.
No referral needed. No diagnosis required. You can simply start with a conversation.
Our Values
The principles that guide every decision we make.
Child First Always
The child at the heart of every decision.
We meet every child where they are at and personalise therapy with clinical excellence and compassion.
We champion their voice and honour their pace, because when children feel safe, seen, and supported, meaningful progress has space to flourish.
The Little Things
Our character is woven through our culture.
We believe that the difference we make is shaped through our intentional daily practices.
We notice the details, we show up with integrity and we lead with passion and purpose.
We, Not Me
Better, because we’re together
Connection and collaboration is at the core of everything we do.
It begins with our team and extends to families, professionals and communities we walk alongside.
We are one team. We learn together, we grow together and we share together.
Above and Beyond
Excellence is not a finish line, it’s a mindset.
We are life long learners who think flexibly and creatively.
We reach further and forge new paths because we believe innovation and courage drives the kind of impact that lasts.
