No. As first contact practitioners you do not need a referral to book an appointment, unless your appointment is funded by:

- MVA (Motor Vehicle Accidents)
- DVA (Department Of Veteran Affairs)
- CDM (Chronic Disease Management: formerly Enhanced Primary Care or EPC).

What is your cancellation policy?
If you are unable to make it to your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible to cancel or reschedule.
12 hrs notice is required to avoid a late cancellation fee.
Non-attended appointments without contacting our clinic will also result in a fee.
Sensitive circumstances are always taken into consideration when billing a late cancellation.
How can I cancel or reschedule?
– Call the clinic to cancel and/or reschedule your appointment.
– Reply ‘No’ to the automated Text Message reminder to have the system automatically cancel your appointment.
– Visit the clinic in person
Effective 21st September 2022.
What is your cancellation policy for NDIS clients?
Because NDIS funded appointments are longer than a standard appointment and require tailored planning and preparation, we require 24 hours notice to avoid a late cancellation fee.
A late cancellation fee is the same price as the appointment, as is billed to NDIS. These guidelines are set by NDIS.
The best way to avoid this is to advise our clinic as soon as you know you will be unable to attend the session.
Sensitive circumstances are always taken into consideration when billing a late cancellation.
How long is your waitlist for Occupational Therapy?
Our OT waitlist is very lengthy and ever growing.
We encourage you to contact our clinic to discuss our Home and Family Therapy Program, and our School Holiday Group therapy options.


📘 What is a Learning Disorder?
A learning disorder is not the same as Autism or ADHD. It means a child
may have difficulties in specific areas like reading, writing, spelling,
or math — even though their overall intelligence is not affected.
❗ Why it matters:
Sometimes parents notice their child struggling at school and think
they’ll “grow out of it.” But if left unsupported, learning
disorders can affect confidence, school attendance, anxiety, and
long-term challenges in daily life.
🎯 The good news:
With the right strategies, children can learn in ways that work for
them. Occupational Therapists (OTs) are highly skilled in supporting
children with learning disorders by building the foundations for
attention, memory, motor skills, and classroom success.

✨ CREATE A CALM BOX ✨
A simple but powerful tool to support emotional
regulation at home in a quiet space. Fill a box with comforting items—like fidgets,
soft toys, calming scents, or favourite music. When big feelings arise, encourage
children (or adults!) can use their calm box to ground themselves, feel
safe, and regain control. 🌈💛

Understanding big emotions can be tough, but what if we made learning about
them a fun game?
One of our favourite ways at BBH to do this is with "Pretend
Play with Emotion Faces."
How to do it at home:
* Gather some paper, markers, and craft sticks.
* On the paper, draw a bunch of faces
showing emotions—happy, sad, angry, surprised, silly, scared, etc
* Cut them out and tape on a stick
* Time to play! Now, you can use these faces in a few ways. You can
take turns making the sound that goes with each emotion, or tell a short
story using a few of the faces. Another fun idea is to have your child
pick a face and tell you about a time they felt that way.
This simple activity helps children recognize and express their feelings
in a safe and playful way. It teaches them that all emotions are okay
and gives them the language to talk about how they feel.

Why Theory of Mind Matters in Autism
Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to understand that other people have
thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and intentions that may be different from
your own.
For many children on the autism spectrum, developing this skill doesn’t
come naturally — which can make social situations confusing,
overwhelming, or even frustrating.
🔹 Difficulty predicting others’ behavior
🔹 Trouble reading social cues
🔹 Challenges with empathy or flexible thinking
All of these can be linked to delayed or impaired Theory of Mind.
💡 The good news? Targeted, early interventions — including
play-based therapy, social stories, and structured peer interactions —
can strengthen these skills over time.
At Bounce Back Health, our therapists use evidence-based practice to
help autistic children:
✔️ Build perspective-taking
✔️ Navigate relationships
✔️ Communicate with more confidence
🌱 It’s not just therapy — it’s building the foundation for real,
meaningful connection.
