WELLBEING NEWS

Dear Parents and Guardians,

My name is Carlie Tierney and I am the Inclusive Programs Co-ordinator here at Red Cliffs Secondary College.  Part of my role is to support families with sourcing and linking external agencies and Allied Health Services for their child’s support here at school or outside school hours.  I am frequently updated on what services are currently available including:

• Speech Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Psychology Services
• Paediatricians

These providers can be engaged privately or accessed through NDIS.  If you would like to know more information, please contact me at the school on 5024 1522 or email carlie.tierney@education.vic.gov.au to arrange an appointment.

Revive Physiotherapy Mildura

Revive Physiotherapy Mildura is pleased to inform you that we are now accepting new NDIS and Private Occupational Therapy clients within the Sunraysia region.

We understand the vital role schools play in a child's development and are eager to collaborate with you to support your students.

We are currently accepting referrals for participants aged 7 and above and are passionate about helping children develop the skills they need to thrive in their daily lives, both at school and at home.

Occupational therapy can make a significant difference for children facing various challenges, such as:

• Fine motor skills: Difficulty with handwriting, using scissors, or manipulating small objects.
• Gross motor skills: Challenges with coordination, balance, and participation in physical activities.
• Sensory processing: Over- or under-responsiveness to sensory input, impacting focus and behaviour.
• Self-care skills: Difficulties with dressing, eating, and personal hygiene.
• Executive functioning: Challenges with planning, organisation, and problem-solving.
• Social skills: Difficulties interacting with peers and understanding social cues.

Our services are accessible through two funding pathways:

• Private Funding: Families can directly access our services and are able to be rebated through medicare or private health pathways.
• National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS): We are able to support children utilising eligible NDIS plans.

We are happy to provide further information about our services, answer any questions you may have, or discuss how we can best support the children in your school community.

Please feel free to contact us via email at laicy@revivephysiomildura.com.au or admin@revivephysiomildura.com.au or via phone on 0458 703 644 to learn more.
