Let's make sense of development, together!

At Sense OT, we provide a range of paediatric services to support your child's sleep quality, nutrition and growth, independence with daily self-care skills, fine and gross motor skills, social interaction and play skills, executive functioning and learning skills, and emotional regulation abilities.

Sense OT offers in-person clinic-based or telehealth sessions in Chelsea Heights VIC, as well as mobile services to your home and local childcares, kindergartens and schools.

We believe childhood is a time for exploring, playing, trying new things, and growing with confidence. Every milestone matters—from a first step or a scribble with a crayon, to joining a game or discovering a new sensation—and we love celebrating them all. Our caring, multidisciplinary team supports your child’s development in everyday moments—through movement, communication, play, self-care, learning, and building relationships. We know every child is unique. That’s why we work closely with families, focusing on your child’s strengths and abilities, and nurturing confidence, independence, and joy. Whenever possible, we collaborate with educators and involve families, because the best outcomes happen when we all work together.

Here, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are celebrated as part of learning, and growth happens when children feel safe, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll celebrate every small win, every big achievement, and every step of your child’s journey.

We’re so glad you’re here — let’s make sense of development, together.
