UPDATE: PHYSICAL LITERACY PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN

April 5th 2020 - Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic provides pivotal physical literacy programs for children in Melbourne, and Regional Victoria.

Our highly experienced and innovative team brings together a range of specialised in-clinic and telehealth services designed to empower children and parents with substantially improved knowledge and skills designed to improve physical and mental health, confidence and motivation.

With regulated COVID-19 isolation policies in place for the unforeseeable future, the timing could not be more critical for educating parents and children about innovative, fun, and effective physical activity modalities within the home and surrounding environment.

We are available:

During this challenging time, we are remaining open to continue supporting the physical literacy needs of children and parents.
Physical literacy provides children with knowledge, behaviours and skills to lead active lifestyles, for life long physical, psychological and learning benefits.

We are implementing COVID-19 vigilance in line with hygiene and distancing recommendations.
You will be looked after by Dr Simon Sostaric (PhD.,BAppSc.,AEP.,AES), a
highly experienced exercise physiologist.

How we help:

WE LISTEN - to understand your child’s unique concerns and goals.
WE EVALUATE - risk assess & monitor your child’s progress.
WE PLAN & EMPOWER – we educate and instruct your child on physical activity around the home
WE SUPPORT - ongoing support to help your child build skills,
motivation and confidence to succeed

Getting started is easy:

1. If your child is healthy, a referral is not necessary. Book online or call us.
2. If your child has a chronic condition, call your GP for a CDM (exercise physiology) referral.
3. In-clinic consultations and new telehealth consultations are available.
4. For in-clinic consults, only one patient +1 (parent) are permitted in the clinic at any one time. We will also require you to follow our hygiene protocols whilst in the practice.
