Our approach

Collaboration and co-design at every stage

The strongest work happens when clinical knowledge and lived experience sit alongside each other. Wherever a project allows, we actively seek to co-design with disabled and neurodivergent people and families, not solely as consultees, but as genuine contributors to the work.

This means both drawing on lived experience within Kid Link and subcontracting people who bring that perspective from outside it. Clinical knowledge tells us what the research says. Lived experience tells us what actually works in practice. The two together produce something neither can on their own.

Experience

With over 13 years' experience and senior consultants working across a range of areas related to child development and disability inclusion, Kid Link brings deep expertise in paediatric OT practice.

Holistic consultation

Through co-design and consultation with neurodivergent people, disability consultants, and family advocates who are meaningfully involved from the start, Kid Link grounds its work in lived experience.

Quality results

Drawing on these diverse perspectives and rigorous practice, Kid Link delivers work that is credible, authentic, and genuinely fit for the communities it serves.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from organisations, brands, and initiatives considering a consulting partnership. If yours isn't here, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Getting started and scopingHow we work togetherCommercial considerationsAfter the project

If you're interested in our consulting services, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with our admin team by emailing admin@kidlink.net.au or calling (03) 9879 7019. They will book you in for a free, no-obligation phone call with one of our OT consultants, where we can begin to explore how we can best support you.

When you reach out to us, we will arrange a free, no-obligation phone call to gather all the information we need to put together a tailored consultancy proposal. This proposal will clearly outline the services we will provide, along with associated timelines and costs.

During the initial phone call, we will give you an idea of what will be involved in completing the work, which we will then formalise in the consultancy proposal sent through to you. Once you are happy with the proposal and all parties are in agreement, we will follow up with a service agreement to confirm everything and get things underway.

At Kid Link, we are intentional about the organisations we choose to work with. We will only commit to projects where there is a genuine alignment with our values and where the work contributes meaningfully to the communities we serve. We are deeply passionate about what we do and hold ourselves to a high standard, which is why we only take on consultancy work where we are confident we have the expertise and capacity to deliver truly exceptional outcomes.

We believe that the right partnership makes all the difference. We would always rather be transparent about our scope than commit to work that falls outside our clinical expertise. When we do take on a project, you can be assured that we are fully invested, bringing a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach, and a genuine commitment to creating meaningful impact.

Following our free, no-obligation initial phone call, we will have a much clearer picture of what is involved and will be able to provide you with a more accurate indication of timelines. We will talk this through with you during that conversation and formalise everything in our consultancy proposal, which will be sent through to you shortly after. Once both parties are in agreement, a service agreement will be finalised to confirm the engagement and get things underway.
