What funding can we use for paediatric physio?

Medicare (via a GP Chronic Disease Management plan), private health, CTP, DVA and NDIS can all apply, depending on your child's situation. We'll talk through what fits before your first visit.

Is it worth driving 40 kilometres for a milestone check?

For most families, yes — the 32-minute drive via the Hume Motorway covers a full assessment in one visit, so you leave with a clear answer rather than needing several short trips.

My baby has a flat spot and always turns one way — is that worth looking at?

Yes, and early is better. A head-turn preference and the flat spot that often comes with it respond well to positioning advice, tummy-time progressions, and gentle neck work — usually without a helmet. We assess what's driving the preference and write a home program you can do across the day.

At what age should I worry my child isn't walking?

Most children walk between twelve and fifteen months, and some take until eighteen without anything being wrong. We look more closely if a child isn't pulling to stand by twelve months or walking by eighteen, or if their movement looks stiff or asymmetrical. Often a single assessment settles the question.

Local care

Paediatric physio for Tallong residents.

School holidays bring plenty of Tallong families onto the road — between bushland properties, weekend sport, and the appointments that keep getting put off because of the 40-kilometre trip into town. The drive to our Goulburn clinic takes about 32 minutes via the Hume Motorway, and most parents plan it around a school day rather than squeezing it into an afternoon.

We treat the things that come up in growing kids: head shape and turning in babies, motor milestones like rolling and walking, toe-walking and in-toeing, and the sports and growing-pain injuries that start once kids are running around bushland tracks or playing weekend sport. Hypermobility and posture concerns come up too.

The same physio sees your child at every appointment, so for a family driving in from Tallong, Marulan, Bungonia or Greenwich Park, each visit builds on the last instead of starting again.

Getting here

The drive in from Tallong.

Tallong sits north-east of Goulburn, about 40 km from the clinic and roughly 32 minutes away via the Hume Motorway. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.

What we treat

What Tallong patients see us for.

Paediatric physiotherapy is physio with extra training for babies, children, and teenagers — how a growing body moves, when something's outside normal variation, and what helps. The family is in the room, the same physio sees your child across every appointment, and we won't medicalise normal variation.
