Good health looks different at every stage of life, and sometimes you need more than a GP appointment to get there. Our allied health specialists work alongside your GP care to provide deeper, more focused support for you and your family, covering everything from nutrition and feeding to mental health and communication.
Dietician
Feeding can become stressful quickly when things aren’t going well. That might look like fussy eating, limited food intake, poor weight gain, or reactions to certain foods. Our Paediatric Dietitian works with you to understand what’s happening and make practical changes that feel manageable at home.
Psychology
Some behaviours are part of development, others can be a sign that your child is struggling. Our Clinical and Perinatal Specialist Psychologists can help you make sense of what you’re seeing and give you a clearer way to respond, so things feel more manageable day to day.
Speech Pathology
Communication develops at its own pace, but there are points where extra support can make a difference. Our Speech Psychologists can help assess how your child is understanding and expressing themselves, then guide you on how to support their progress over time.

Do I need a referral to see an allied health specialist?
You can book directly with our team. If you are an existing patient, your GP can also help guide you to the right specialist based on what you are experiencing.
How does allied health fit in with my GP care at Western Family Practice?
Our GPs and allied health specialists work closely together, so your care is coordinated rather than fragmented. Your GP stays across what is happening at every stage and can refer you directly when needed.
