WELCOME!

We’re so glad you’re interested in learning with us! At Motivate Kids, we believe that mentorship and hands-on experience are key to shaping confident, capable paediatric occupational therapists.

Our Internship Program is designed to give final-year OT students real-world learning opportunities in a supportive, engaging, and dynamic environment. You’ll work alongside experienced therapists, build practical skills, and gain insight into the world of paediatric OT—all while being part of a team that values growth, collaboration, and making a real difference in children’s lives.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your OT journey, we’d love to be part of it!

What to expect in your internship?

Our Term 4 Internship Program is a structured experience designed to help you bridge the gap between study and practice. Here’s what you can expect:

Hands-on Learning

Observe and assist in therapy sessions across a range of settings, including our purpose-built studios, schools, and community visits.

Mentorship & Supervision

Work closely with experienced paediatric OTs, receive weekly 1:1 supervision, and join team learning sessions to deepen your clinical understanding.

Practical Skill Development

Build confidence in assessments, intervention planning, and therapy techniques while working with a diverse caseload of children aged 2–20 years.

Exposure to Specialised Areas:

Learn about school-based therapy, functional capacity assessments, group programs, and environmental consultations, with opportunities to explore areas of interest.

Pathway to Our Graduate Program

Interns who complete the program and register with AHPRA can transition seamlessly into our Graduate Program, which offers structured supervision, career mentoring, and a tailored learning pathway.

This isn’t just an internship—it’s the first step toward a fulfilling career in paediatric OT.
