Perth kids' physiotherapists with current availability
About this list
This page tracks which Perth physiotherapists are currently taking new clients for children, so you don’t have to ring around to find out. It covers private paediatric physio clinics across Perth, with suburb and availability so you can see who’s close by and who has room right now.
No referral is needed to contact any of these providers directly. A GP referral isn’t required to start, though it can open up a Medicare rebate through a Chronic Disease Management plan, and some families access physiotherapy through an NDIS plan instead.
What physiotherapists help with
Paediatric physiotherapists work with children on movement, strength and coordination: gross motor delays, walking or running differently to other kids, toe walking, flat feet, torticollis in babies, coordination difficulties, sports injuries and post-surgical rehab. Some physiotherapists also specialise in paediatric continence, supporting bladder and bowel issues through pelvic floor and core work. Provider profiles list what each clinic covers and the age groups they see.
If you’re trying to work out what’s behind what you’re seeing at home, a few of our guides might help narrow it down: DCD and dyspraxia support and continence, constipation and toileting support.
How to use this list
Availability changes often, so this page is updated regularly rather than left to go stale. A provider showing as accepting referrals today may still have a short wait depending on when you enquire, and it’s worth asking directly about current wait times and costs when you make contact.
If nobody nearby has room, our under 4 week wait page lists therapists across all concerns, including physiotherapy, with short-term availability.
Common questions from Perth parents
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist? No, you can contact most providers on this list directly. A GP referral can unlock a Medicare rebate through a Chronic Disease Management plan, so it’s worth asking your GP about this before your first appointment. Families with an NDIS plan can often access physiotherapy through that funding instead.
What age range do physiotherapists work with? It varies by provider. Some clinics specialise in babies and toddlers, others in school-age kids or teens and sports injuries. Check each provider’s profile for the age groups they work with before booking.
Does my child need a diagnosis to see a physio? No. Many families see a physiotherapist for a specific concern, like coordination or a sports injury, without any diagnosis at all. A physio assessment can also help build the picture if you’re exploring whether something more is going on, like DCD or dyspraxia.
Can a physiotherapist help with bedwetting or toileting? Some can. A number of physiotherapists specialise in paediatric continence, working on bladder and bowel issues through the pelvic floor and core. Check provider profiles for this, or see our continence, constipation and toileting support guide for more on this pathway specifically.
