Experience the Extraordinary Difference

NAPA Centre – Internationally famous Paediatric Therapy, right here in Australia

Your child is unique with very specific needs. NAPA embraces these differences with an understanding that individualised programs work better. We work with you to incorporate our wide range of therapies into a customised intensive  or weekly program specific to your child’s needs and your family’s goals.

Our Programs

 

Intensive Therapy

Our intensive therapy programs, which may include combinations of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech therapy, are customised for each child based on their needs and goals.

Paediatric Physiotherapy

At NAPA Centre, our highly trained paediatric physiotherapists challenge each child in a loving environment, helping them achieve new developmental milestones.

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

NAPA provides paediatric occupational therapy for children of all ages to help them achieve their full potential.

Paediatric Speech Therapy

At NAPA Centre, we believe communication is a fundamental human right. Every child deserves a way to express themselves and be understood.

Developmental Feeding Therapy

Eating is a complex developmental skill. When any part of it is difficult, mealtimes can become stressful for children and families.

Weekly Therapy

NAPA’s weekly therapy provides consistency, connection, and opportunities to build on progress over time.

Our Process

From determining your individualised program to registering for a session, here’s a step-by-step guide to start your child on their new journey.

1

STEP 1

Complete an Interest Form

If you’re new to NAPA, your first step is submitting an interest form directly from our website. This gives our team the basic information we need to get to know your family and begin the process of connecting you with the right care. Once we receive your form, you’ll get an email with a personalized link to complete your intake.
Have questions before you’re ready to dive in? You’ll also have the option to schedule a discovery session with our Client Experience team. It’s a chance to ask questions, learn more about what to expect, and make sure NAPA is the right fit for your family before moving forward.

STEP 2

Complete Your Intake

The intake process is an important step because it helps our therapists understand your child’s history, goals, and needs so we can build the right plan for them. Take your time filling it out thoroughly — the more we know, the better we can serve your family.

After you submit, our team will review your intake and be in touch within two weeks. What happens next depends on the type of program you’re interested in:

  • Intensives: Our therapists will review your intake and determine whether your child is a candidate for our intensive program. Your intensive coordinator will reach out once recommendations are ready, and you’ll be able to review them directly within the Ocean Friends app.
  • Weekly sessions: A coordinator will reach out to either schedule your first session if availability allows, or place you on the waitlist if not. Waitlists do move, so don’t be discouraged.
  • Both: If you’re interested in both intensives and weekly sessions, our team will guide you through each path.

To log in, simply use the phone number you provided when you submitted your interest form. No separate account creation needed. You’re all set.
