RCOT Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Meet Harpreet 🧡

Harpreet recently completed her Master’s in Occupational Therapy at Curtin University, after finishing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in 2022. During her studies, she discovered a passion for working with children, especially through play-based and child-led approaches that celebrate each child’s strengths and support their everyday participation at home, school, and in the community.

While studying, Harpreet worked as an independent support worker, where she supported children with a range of needs in their daily routines and therapy goals. This hands-on experience helped her understand the importance of working closely with families and creating safe, supportive environments where children feel confident and empowered to be themselves. Harpreet is passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with the children and families she works with. She is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that’s tailored to each child’s individual needs and interests.

Outside of work, Harpreet enjoys reading, trying out new cafes, exploring new places, and spending time with her family and friends.

Handwriting takes practice and consistency is key. ✏️

Just 10 - 15 minutes, twice a week can make a world of difference.

Seeing an OT weekly or fortnightly is a great start, but the real progress happens in between. Supporting your child to practise at home helps build confidence, reinforce skills and keep that momentum going.
