Who We Are

  • Stepping Forward Therapy Services began in 2011 in a humble treatment room in Mitcham, by a couple of physiotherapists who believed that children and families deserved better services.

    Since 2014, I’ve been on a mission to create a service that truly puts children and their families at the centre — delivering meaningful assessments, thoughtful treatment, and genuine support.

    Today, we are a growing team of therapists and support staff who continue to hold true to these values. I’m excited to see what’s next.‍ ‍

  • We value and respect each child and family’s unique needs, experiences and goals.

    Our physiotherapists focus on what matters most by creating meaningful, functional outcomes that translate into real life moments, like running as fast as their friends or playing on the monkey bars.

  • Paediatric physiotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of babies, children and young people from birth to 21 years.

    Our paediatric physiotherapists combine their skills in biomechanics, movement and function, with expert knowledge and experience of child development and of childhood disabilities.

    We are committed to working with families and health professionals towards child-centred and family-centred goals. We collaborate and communicate readily and engage in joint or team sessions within our clinic or broader community.
