Thrive Health is Coming to Perth’s Northern Suburbs

Finding the right therapist for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent.

Whether your child is struggling with speech and language development, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, handwriting, sensory processing or social communication, having access to experienced clinicians close to home can make all the difference.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that iThrive Health is opening a brand-new clinic in Hillarys, bringing our highly regarded paediatric Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology services to families throughout Perth’s northern suburbs.

For years, families have travelled from across Perth to attend our West Leederville clinic. Now, we’re making the same high standard of care more accessible for children and families living north of the river.

Trusted Paediatric Therapy, Now in Hillarys

At iThrive Health, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Our therapists work alongside children, parents, schools and other health professionals to help develop practical skills that improve everyday life. Therapy is tailored to each child, with goals designed around their individual strengths, challenges and interests.

We support children across a wide range of developmental needs, including:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• ADHD
• Speech and language delays
• Developmental delay
• Fine motor and gross motor difficulties
• Sensory processing differences
• Emotional regulation
• Social communication skills
• School readiness
• Handwriting difficulties
• Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)
• NDIS assessments and reports

Our aim isn’t simply to provide therapy sessions—it’s to help children build confidence, independence and lifelong skills.

Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology Working Together

Many children benefit from support across more than one area of development.

By offering both Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology under one roof, our clinicians work collaboratively to provide coordinated care that supports the whole child.

This means your child’s therapy goals are aligned, communication between therapists is seamless, and families receive consistent support throughout their journey.

Bringing the Experience of Our West Leederville Clinic to Hillarys

Our Hillarys clinic will be led by Senior Occupational Therapist and Managing Partner Kathryn Dew, who has played an instrumental role in the success of our established West Leederville clinic.

Kathryn brings years of clinical experience working with children and families across a wide range of developmental presentations and is passionate about mentoring clinicians while delivering high-quality, family-centred care.

Her leadership will help ensure families attending our Hillarys clinic receive the same compassionate approach, collaborative care and clinical excellence that have become synonymous with iThrive Health.

Why Families Choose iThrive Health

Families choose iThrive Health because we focus on more than therapy sessions.

We believe in building genuine relationships with families, collaborating closely with schools and other healthcare providers, and creating practical strategies that can be used beyond the therapy room.

Our therapists are committed to evidence-based practice while ensuring therapy remains engaging, child-centred and enjoyable.

Every recommendation we make is guided by one question:

Will this help improve the child’s everyday life?

That’s the standard we’ve built our reputation on, and it’s the same standard we’re excited to bring to Hillarys.
