Early Start Australia Mornington (formerly Joy Paediatric Therapy Services) has been providing services to preschool and school aged children on the Mornington Peninsula since 2007.

We offer both individual and group programs at our Somerville clinic as well as community-based appointments and telehealth. We are committed to family centred therapy and strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children and families.

Your child’s ability to communicate and participate in their daily lives is important business. Therefore, speech therapy and occupational therapy shouldn’t feel like hard work or be a frustrating chore for your child.

We ensure our sessions are fun and inclusive for all involved.
