Join our team in our brand new space
to support the Red Frog for Families community.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to support participants in experiencing high quality of life.
You could be an integral part of our innovative venture to provide the kind of support that changes lives!
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to (through the empowerment of our team) support and empower all families and individuals to live a quality life through education and support of the family and their community.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Red Frog for Families supports children through to young adults and their families who are affected by disability and different abilities. Our therapy team specialises in therapy away from the table and outside of the box. We love to play and help our participants grow, and know that this is done best when both participants and therapists are having fun and motivated by their world.
Red Frog for Families therapists are playful, energetic, creative, enthusiastic, and dedicated to achieving great outcomes for our families.
POSITIONS AVAILABLE
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS
Our occupational therapists engage children in the occupation of play to develop essential, foundational skills for everyday function in a fun and motivating way. Once foundational abilities are in place, our therapists shift focus to teach necessary skills to allow the child to achieve success in other occupational areas, such as school, social interaction, community access and independence.
SPEECH THERAPISTS
Our speech therapists work on more than just speech. We also work on language, augmentative alternative communication, social communication and literacy skills. Our state-of-the-art clinic facilities have been designed to be child-friendly, facilitating play-based therapy focusing on relationships and developmental frameworks.
DISABILITY SUPPORT WORKERS
Disability support workers provide the link between high-intensity therapeutic interventions and relaxed, real-world practice. Disability support workers facilitate participant access to their community and activities of choice. This can be through in-home supports, in-community supports, or assisting to access therapy.
ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTANTS
Allied health assistants work under the close supervision of one of our occupational therapists or speech therapists to implement a therapeutic program individualised to the participant’s needs. Allied health assistants collaborate regularly with our therapy team to develop their clinical reasoning skills and to learn new therapeutic techniques.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Red Frog for Families team is committed to ongoing professional and personal development including exploration of individual passions. Multidisciplinary group-based professional development and mentoring is a regular part of our team’s week, and all therapists receive support to attend discipline-specific CPD opportunities along with individual clinical supervision and mentoring. Red Frog for Families is unique in offering transdisciplinary supervision with one of Australia’s most experienced Relationship Development Intervention consultants.
