Autism Support at Bondi Paediatrics — Bondi Junction, NSW

Bondi Paediatrics lists autism as a service area. Occupational therapy for children on the autism spectrum typically focuses on developing everyday skills, managing sensory sensitivities, and building independence in daily routines. According to its listing, the clinic may support children across areas such as fine motor coordination (for writing, dressing, and self-care tasks), sensory regulation (helping children respond appropriately to sounds, textures, and movement), and social participation in play and learning environments.

Common activities in autism-focused occupational therapy include structured fine-motor exercises like threading, scissor work, or handwriting practice to build pencil grip and control. Sensory-based interventions might involve weighted equipment, textured play materials, or movement activities to help children who are either over- or under-responsive to sensory input. Visual supports and routine-based strategies are often used to help children transition between activities and understand expectations in different settings.

Children with autism may access occupational therapy through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), though Bondi Paediatrics' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether services align with their child's goals. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism; diagnosis is made by medical or psychological professionals.
