Care for Every Child’s Journey of Growth and Discovery

Every child deserves care that evolves with their needs. At Perth CDC, we offer developmentally appropriate care that helps children thrive at every stage and helps them feel heard and understood.

At Perth CDC, Every Child Is Met With Kindness and Care

We understand that each child brings strengths, struggles, and a story. That’s why we begin every appointment by creating a calm, welcoming space where your child feels safe, seen, and respected.

Our approach is grounded in empathy and patience. Whether it’s your child’s first visit or a return for follow-up care, we take time to listen and connect. It’s not just about assessments. It’s about connection, trust, and making families feel genuinely supported through care that adapts as children grow and change.

We Help Children Flourish and Thrive In Their Own Way

Every child develops in a way that’s uniquely theirs. At Perth CDC, we recognise these differences and offer practical support through early challenges. Instead of focusing only on milestones, we notice progress in the everyday moments that shape a child’s growth.

From building communication skills to preparing for school, we help families navigate development with confidence. Our clinicians collaborate with parents and carers to create positive routines. This guidance extends from home to classrooms and throughout the community, where children learn, grow, and feel encouraged to thrive.

Why Families Choose Perth CDC

Families come to us looking for more than just appointments—they’re seeking clarity, care, and connection. Each visit is approached as a meaningful step in their child’s development.

A Safe Space Where Children Can Thrive and Grow

From the first hello to each return visit, our clinic is designed to be a nurturing environment where children can feel at ease. We understand how important it is for families to feel welcomed, heard, and respected. That’s why our spaces are calm, inclusive, and thoughtfully arranged—so children of all abilities feel secure while they learn, grow, and build confidence alongside a caring team.

Support That’s Personal, Ongoing, and Truly Collaborative

We take time to understand your child’s unique needs and what progress looks like for your family. Our team works closely with parents and carers to create realistic goals and step-by-step plans. By fostering genuine relationships, we empower families to feel involved at every stage of their child’s development—not just during appointments but throughout their everyday routines at home, school, and in the community.

A Team That Listens, Cares, and Works With Heart

Our team is made up of warm, approachable clinicians who prioritise connection before intervention. We don’t rush. We listen carefully, explain clearly, and check in often. Whether it’s your child’s first appointment or their tenth, we aim to build trust through consistency, patience, and kindness. For us, delivering care goes beyond qualifications. It means creating a meaningful experience where families feel supported and understood every step of the way.

Holistic Services That Grow With Your Child’s Needs

Every child’s journey is unique, and their needs can change over time. Perth CDC offers a wide range of allied health services under one roof, allowing families to access coordinated care without the stress of retelling their stories repeatedly. Whether your child requires speech support, emotional guidance, or movement development, our team communicates closely to provide personalised care that evolves as your child grows.
