Supporting Your Child at School

Chatham Public School works with external therapy providers to support the wellbeing, learning and development of our students.

If you would like your child to receive therapy at school, getting started is simple. The parent or therapist can contact the school informally by phone or email to let us know that they would like therapy to take place at school.

To get the process underway, we will need:

• Your child's name
• The therapist's name
• The therapist's email address
• The therapist's phone number
• The therapist's professional role (e.g. Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Psychologist)
• The type of therapy proposed

Once we have this basic information, the school can create an engagement in SchoolTherapy. The platform then takes care of the formal approval and documentation process, including sending the official parent request for signing and collecting required documentation such as insurance and Working with Children Check details.

Easy, Secure Online Management

SchoolTherapy provides a simple and secure way to manage external therapy at school. Once approved, therapists can:

• Upload and manage required documentation directly through the platform
• Complete and digitally sign required forms
• View available, school-approved appointment times and rooms
• Receive notifications about appointment approvals, cancellations or changes
• Keep the school and relevant stakeholders informed of scheduling changes
• Receive alerts when important documentation is approaching expiry
• Manage appointments across multiple schools using SchoolTherapy from one central dashboard

When Is Therapy Available?

At Chatham Public School, external provider support is not available during Term 1.

External therapy appointments are available during Terms 2, 3 and 4, between 2:00 pm and 3.00 pm, subject to school approval and availability.

Want to Get Started?

If you would like your child to receive therapy at school, please contact the school by phone or email with the basic details outlined above. There is no need to complete the formal paperwork before contacting us — SchoolTherapy will guide the process from there.

Our aim is to make arranging therapy at school as straightforward, secure and efficient as possible for families, therapists and the school.
