Team update - December 2025

Here is a rundown of staff movements within the clinical team including new faces, staff returning from parental leave and a colleague we soon will farewell for an exciting new adventure.

Farewell Madz

We soon will be farewelling Client Support Officer Madz, a qualified paramedic who joined CliniKids earlier this year while navigating a career transition. Since then, supported by our wonderful team, she has landed on her next calling – and has just been accepted to study medicine in NSW. Consequently, Madz will be making the move to NSW in mid-January, so she can start her studies in February. This is a very bittersweet moment for us because we are genuinely thrilled for Madz and the incredible opportunity ahead of her, but of course we are sad to be farewelling her from CliniKids.

Welcome Dimity and Lucy

We recently welcomed Occupational Therapist Dimity Taylor the team. Passionate about empowering families, Dimity integrates a coaching approach to help parents and caregivers incorporate play and daily activities into routines, fostering independence and confidence. Dimity is currently taking on new clients.

We also look forward to Lucy, a Speech Pathologist, joining the team in January.

Welcome back Aria

We also can’t wait to welcome back Speech Pathology Clinical Lead Aria May back from parental leave in January. Aria is passionate about empowering children and families to achieve meaningful goals that are important to them and is trained in several focused therapies including the SCERTS model, JASPER, Inklings and Hanen.
