Professional Development
At Move and Play, we are committed to building the capacity of all the people that surround and support children everyday.
For this reason, we offer high quality education, training and professional development programs for families, educators and other therapists.
For families
Parents and families spend the most time with children and play the most important role in a child’s life. So, it makes sense that we empower parents through our education and training programs with up-to-date information about how they can support their child.
Education sessions can be attended as in person sessions at our clinic, or can be watched on demand by purchasing one of our online training programs.
For daycares, kindys & schools
We help teachers, educators and other school or centre staff stay up to date with information about child development, supporting children with developmental difficulties, and helping children in their care to thrive.
Education sessions can be delivered as in person sessions at your centre, via videoconference, or can be watched on demand.
For therapists
Paediatrics is a specialised field of practice, and we are passionate about supporting other allied health professionals to deliver quality care to their paediatric clients.
We offer a variety of professional development and mentoring services for paediatric allied health professionals wanting to upskill in paediatric clinical practice, including workshops, lunch and learn webinars, individual and group mentoring.
