Stephanie Martin

Occupational Therapist

Bachelor of Science (Occupational Therapy)

Growing up, Steph always had a natural passion for health, wellness, sport and supporting others, which led her to pursue a career in occupational therapy. She was especially drawn to the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives through practical, strengths-based support. Outside of work, Steph enjoys exploring new cafes, travelling, spending time with her Swiss Shepherd, Ace, and catching up with friends and family.

Education & Expertise

Steph holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from Edith Cowan University. Passionate about ongoing learning and evidence-informed practice, she has completed a range of professional development courses focused on motor skills, co-regulation and sensory integration.

Professional Background

Since graduating, Steph has worked in the paediatric field, supporting children, adolescents and young adults across NDIS and private settings. She delivers therapy in both clinic and school environments, collaborating with families and educators to provide consistent support. Steph also works one day a week at Quintilian School, delivering occupational therapy sessions that build essential skills while working alongside teachers to implement effective strategies in the classroom.

Steph has a particular interest in working with teenagers and neurodivergent girls, and is passionate about fostering their confidence, self-understanding and independence

Core Skills & Strengths

Steph’s friendly, calming natures help children feel comfortable and engaged during therapy. She values building strong, trusting relationships with her clients, recognising every client is unique. Steph takes time to understand each child’s strengths and interests, and believes in empowering both the child and their support network to ensure lasting development and positive outcomes.

Passion & Motivation

“There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching a child’s face light up with pride when they realise how far they’ve come.”
