About Us :
Welcome to Thrive Group Thrive Group is a growing private paediatric practice with a brand new clinic consisting of large spacious clinic rooms, a fully equipped sensory room and fully equipped rehabilitation gym. Thrive Group provides services under many different funding bodies including Medicare and NDIS. We have also partnered with many local primary schools which allows our Occupational Therapists to deliver services within schools on a weekly basis. This provides our OT's to have a mixture of both clinical and school based work ensuring that their week-to-week has a high amount of variety. Thrive Group also works in collaboration with Impact Speech Pathology and our very own Physiotherapist which ensures that our OT's are able to work in a multidisciplinary team. Our dedicated team and thriving clinic is located in the family friendly town of Shepparton within the Goulburn Valley. Our location offers easy access to the Hume Highway, the Mighty Murray river, various wineries and eateries and ski mountains for our team and clients alike to enjoy. Shepparton also provides access to fantastic schools, affordable and beautiful housing, vibrant cafes and an amazing community which we and our team are very proud of. Does the above sound too good to be true…? We have regular discussions with our team around why they love working with us and how we can work on consistently improving as a practice and team.
