Building Strong Foundations for Brighter Futures
Foundations Therapy & Support is a mobile paediatric occupational therapy team working across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, including Prahran, Toorak, South Yarra, Windsor, Richmond, Abbotsford, Fairfield, Kew, Hawthorn, Elwood, St Kilda and Malvern. We deliver strengths-based, family-centred therapy that helps children build confidence, independence and the skills that matter most to them.
We believe that therapy is most beneficial when conducted in the environment that suits you and your child best. Individual sessions and group programs are completed within real-life environments such as home, school, kinder or even at the park. Our team of occupational therapists is led by founder Jake Du Chateau. We see private clients, Medicare care plan clients, and NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants.
Throughout the entire therapy process, we are committed to providing evidence-based care and we endeavour to ensure that both the children and their families feel safe, comfortable, heard and advocated for. We love working as a team to ensure the most beneficial therapy outcomes. We collaborate with families, teachers and other health professionals to deliver therapy that will develop your child’s skills, increase their independence and improve their participation, all whilst having a whole lot of fun during the sessions!
Meet the team behind Foundations
Founded by paediatric OT Jake Du Chateau, Foundations has grown into a team of occupational therapists and allied health assistants who share the same approach: get to know the child first, then build therapy around what they love. Every family is matched with the clinician who suits their child best.
