About Us

QPAH provides professional, clinical allied health services to children, adolescents and adults across the Gold Coast and Tweed.

Opening in 2021, our team is comprised of speech pathologists, music therapists, allied health assistants, an occupational therapist, audiologist, neuropsychologist and client care coordinators. We work across two clinic locations (Varsity Lakes and Robina) and provide home, community and telehealth services, as well as group therapy sessions, throughout the region.

We are passionate about supporting children to discover, develop and build on their strengths and improve how they actively participate in their own lives. We recognise that children and families need varied and layered support to reach their full potential and this understanding is at the heart of everything we do.

We work within an inter-professional model of care to support our clients’ development holistically. We help each other to support our clients, who are at the centre of everything we do, and to grow as professionals.

Our work life balance is excellent and flexible working arrangements are available to all staff.

Our team is extraordinarily cohesive! We love to have fun - expect lots of laughs, good vibes and maybe even some karaoke on occasion!

We have so much more to tell you about why QPAH should be your new home, but we’d love to do this in person!
