Early Start Australia Sandringham has been leading the way for paediatric allied health and for young children with autism in Melbourne since 2009

We were the first to bring the ground-breaking Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) program to Australian families and proudly offer the rigorous ESDM training that is required for professionals.

We provide psychology, occupational therapy and speech and language pathology services to children (0-five years) in the Sandringham area and believe in the enormous potential that lies within every child and young person.

The Sandringham Therapy Centre is passionate about providing interventions and supports and is the home of the unique Little Oaks program.

COVID-19 has created opportunities for us to deliver our program via telehealth which means we can help even more families, no matter where you are located.
