Our Box Hill clinic

Paediatric care shaped around your child

Lumos Paediatric Therapy is a multidisciplinary clinic in Box Hill, Melbourne, providing therapy and assessments for children and young people aged 0–18. Our clinicians work with families on goals for communication, emotional wellbeing, learning and everyday participation.

Services available in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

A clear place to start

After a developmental concern or Healthy Kids Check

If a Healthy Kids Check, another review or your own observations raise a concern, talk with our Box Hill team. We can discuss developmental screening, assessment and early support, including parent coaching, and help you consider a suitable next step. You do not need to know which service to ask for.

For parents and caregivers

Parent coaching and early support

Build practical strategies with a therapist around communication, play, emotional regulation, mealtimes, self-care and everyday routines. Parent-only consultations or child-inclusive coaching can be shaped around your child’s strengths and your family’s priorities.

A parent consultation or developmental screening can help you understand concerns and decide on a useful next step. These services are available through our clinic. Thriving Kids eligibility and program funding are determined separately by government.
