About Us
Nga mai, haere mai
Paediatric Rehab Team is an interdisciplinary team of qualified professionals who provide private services and services under ACC Training for independence contracts. Founded in 2003, our team has been supporting tamariki and their whānau across Canterbury for almost 20 years.
Our aim is to ensure children receive a coordinated and efficient approach to their rehabilitation in a setting most suitable to the child – whether this is at the park, the pool, school, home or preschool. We recognise the significant nature of the services that we provide to whānau and their children and feel very privileged to walk with you to develop a plan to support your child to be the best that they can be.
