The young person’s voice comes first.
For young people aged 10–17, allied health can help turn personal goals into practical skills for school, relationships, self-care, community life and future work. The young person’s voice, identity and choices stay central while families and educators are included with consent.
Age-respectful support that plans with the young person, not just around them.
Support that connects clinical expertise with everyday goals.
We begin with the person’s strengths, preferences, environments and what they want life to make easier. Assessment guides a practical plan that can be understood, used and reviewed.

Easy Read guide
A plain-English guide to Paediatrics 10-17 and NDIS support.
How is therapy different for teenagers?
Goals are increasingly led by the young person and often focus on autonomy, identity, school demands, relationships, community participation and transition to adult life. Therapy should be age-respectful and relevant.
Can you work with the school?
With consent, clinicians can collaborate with teachers and relevant staff so strategies are understood and usable in the school environment.
Do I need a referral?
You can contact Bloom directly. If you have an NDIS plan, our team can also work with your support coordinator, plan manager or other treating professionals.
Where are appointments held?
We primarily support people at home and in the community, with telehealth available when clinically appropriate. Clinic appointments may be available case by case.
Can Bloom work with my existing support team?
Yes. With your consent, we can collaborate with family, support workers, educators and other clinicians so strategies are practical and consistent.
How do I know whether my NDIS plan can fund this service?
Funding depends on your plan and whether the support relates to your disability, goals and approved budget. Our team can discuss your situation, but only the NDIA or your plan manager can confirm funding.
