What Therapy for Kids Perth does

Therapy for Kids Perth is a multidisciplinary paediatric allied health practice headquartered in Myaree, Western Australia, founded in 2021 by Mia Tarpey. The practice delivers four core therapy disciplines — occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology, and physiotherapy — to children, adolescents, and young adults presenting with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, anxiety, sensory processing differences, speech and language difficulties, motor skill challenges, and learning difficulties. It also offers four specialist assessment services (ADHD, autism, cognitive, and functional capacity assessment for NDIS applications), with timelines such as a 4–6 week ADHD report and a minimum 10-hour functional capacity assessment.

The practice operates from four physical clinic locations across the Perth metropolitan area (Beckenham, Myaree, Karrinyup, Canning Vale) and supplements in-clinic delivery with mobile therapy within 15 minutes of each clinic and Australia-wide telehealth. The technology stack is light: the practice runs on Splose practice management software for online booking and administration, uses Squarespace for its public website, WhatsApp Business for client communication, and standard telephony. No proprietary technology, AI/ML system, or developer-facing API is documented.

Therapy for Kids Perth generates revenue across five funding streams: NDIS-funded therapy (the practice is an NDIS Registered Provider with Registration ID 4-KXFO4CN and accepts self-managed, plan-managed, and agency-managed participants); Medicare-funded services via GP Chronic Condition Management Plans and the M10 Complex Neurodevelopmental Conditions program; private health insurance rebates across all four disciplines; self-funded / private-pay appointments; and Motor Vehicle Accident (ICWA) physiotherapy claims. Session fees are not publicly disclosed and are quoted on enquiry. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with a strong referral channel from GPs, paediatricians, schools, and NDIS Support Coordinators, supported by content marketing on funding and developmental topics. The business sits within a wider ecosystem that includes the sister brand Therapy Hub (adult allied health) and the Therapy Sensory Store (OT-recommended sensory products, opened November 2024 in Myaree).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Plena Healthcare: Large Australian allied health provider covering paediatrics, aged care, and disability. Comparable in paediatric therapy offerings but operates at much larger scale and across multiple care settings.
• ORS Group: Large national NDIS provider offering allied health, behaviour support, and employment services. Comparable in NDIS paediatric therapy delivery but operates at scale and breadth across disability and broader human services.

Direct peers

• Better Rehab: National allied health provider with paediatric and adult services across OT, speech, physio, and psychology. Overlaps with Therapy for Kids Perth on multi-disciplinary NDIS-funded therapy, though Better Rehab is much larger and adult-skewed.
• Concentric Rehabilitation Centre: National allied health provider with paediatric services across multiple disciplines, often positioned in the NDIS market. Comparable multidisciplinary paediatric clinic model, though Concentric operates a hub-and-spoke clinic network across several states.
• Everyday Independence: National NDIS-registered allied health provider offering OT, speech, physio, and psychology with a key worker model. Comparable as a multi-disciplinary paediatric/NDIS provider, but operates across multiple states at much larger scale.
• Therapy Focus: Large WA-based paediatric allied health provider offering OT, speech, physio, and psychology across the Perth metro and regional WA. Directly comparable in service mix, paediatric specialisation, and NDIS provider status, but operates at significantly larger scale as a community-founded NFP.
• National 360: National allied health provider focused on NDIS participants, offering OT, speech, physio, and behaviour support. Comparable in NDIS-centric multi-disciplinary paediatric model, though broader geographically.

Regional players

• Kids Plus Foundation: Victorian paediatric allied health provider offering multi-disciplinary therapy and intensive blocks. Comparable in paediatric multi-disciplinary model and family-centred approach, but Victoria-based, so does not directly compete in WA.
• Kid's Health Space / Perth Paediatric Allied Health: Smaller Perth-based paediatric allied health practices offering comparable OT, speech, and psychology services. Direct local competitors in the Perth paediatric market, though typically smaller and single-discipline.

Emerging players

• Therapy Pro: NDIS-registered allied health provider offering mobile and clinic-based paediatric therapy. Comparable mobile therapy model and NDIS-aligned paediatric positioning, though smaller and east-coast focused.
