11.01.2022 Exciting news!!!! IKOT is excited to let you all know that we will be moving to a new premises. Whilst we have loved our time by the water in Battery Point we have outgrown the building. We will be moving to a newly renovated property located at 7 Wilks Road Lenah Valley. We plan on beginning operations out of the new premises on the 9th of June 2020. Over the weeks after moving we will be slowly welcoming people back into the clinic. However, we will need continue to operat...e under the COVID-19 restrictions as required. We will notify you when clinic appointments are available. Please note that the Kingston clinic will still be in operation as normal. If you have any questions about the move please let me know We will post photos as the move progresses!

08.01.2022 Hi IKOT Clients At IKOT we understand that this is a difficult and confusing time for everyone, more so in some cases for the amazing young people who access our services.... As many of you will already know IKOT is changing up the way we deliver services to you. To keep in line with the new social distancing rules we are conducting all of our sessions either over the phone or via a video platform called Zoom. We are already seeing some great results through the Zoom sessions. With some families saying that they would want to continue these as a regular part of their therapy after the COVID-19 situation eases. Your therapist will be in touch with you, if they haven’t been already, to discuss how these new methods of delivering therapy services could work for your child. Most of our therapists are now working from home, we have a skeleton crew consisting mainly of the admin team operating out of the Battery Point Clinic. In a couple of cases some of our therapists have elected to reduce their working hours to care for their families. If your current appointment is affected by this, then your therapist or the admin team will be in touch. We understand that all of these changes are difficult, we have been amazed at how understanding and accepting you all have been recently. So thank you. Every change that we are making happens with you all forefront in our minds. We all love seeing our clients, so these steps are to ensure that we can keep doing so now and into the future. Keep safe and please let us know if we can do anything for you. The IKOT Team

02.01.2022 Being a parent can be overwhelming at times, especially when it comes to behavioural challenges in children and adolescents. Seeking professional advice can be helpful in navigating these challenges, however, parents are often met with lengthy wait times for services. Educational staff (schools, child care services) can also experience challenging times with students and there are not enough resources to help them support them. Due to this frustration, a group of psychologist...s and counsellors at Lindisfarne Psychology & Wellbeing Centre are providing a workshop to provide helpful information, ideas and strategies for common parenting challenges. You are invited to attend our workshop ‘Challenges in Modern Parenting’. The event will be held at the Hockey Centre in New Town from 9:00am on Saturday the 27th of February. Please follow the links for more information or to purchase tickets Morning session: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/challenges-in-modern-parent Afternoon session: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/challenges-in-modern-parent

01.01.2022 I have worked at IKOT for almost a year and joined the team as a new graduate. I am so grateful that I chose IKOT to start my career in Occupational Therapy there are so many opportunities to learn and grow while feeling valued and supported. There is a brains trust of experienced therapists with combined experience of 150 years who are more than happy to help or collaborate with. I feel that each member of the team is valued and celebrated for the different skills and stre...ngths that they can bring to the team, and supported kindly with our individual differences and quirks. It is so rewarding working with such a diverse caseload there is immense need for high quality therapy services in our geographical location. I am proud to be part of a team with a great reputation and evidence of facilitating change in our community. It is exciting to be part of a workplace that is progressive and proactive in all areas how we provide service, how we can support and be supported and how to meet ever-changing needs around us.
