private paediatric Occupational therapy
To rural & remote Australia
Specialising in Neurodiversity - Early Childhood Developmental and Delay, Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Anxiety, Little Legs Outback Occupational Therapy helps families to support their children to build on their sensory, social and emotional skills using evidence based strategies that can be applied anywhere, anytime.
Based in Central West Queensland, Longreach
Little Legs Occupational Therapist Lizzie, travels Central West Queensland to connect with clients and parents in rural and remote areas. Alongside this, Lizzie also offers online, in-school and in-work programs to help make Occupational Therapy as accessible to people as possible.
We can clearly see that getting funding and support for neurodiversity is not nearly as easy to access in the bush and that’s something Little Legs Outback Occupational Therapy is driven to change.

MEET LITTLE LEGS OUTBACK O.T & FOUNDER
lizzie kearney
Welcome, friends!
If you are looking for a supported and safe space where you feel listened to, you’re in the right place.
Let me tell you a little about who I am, and we can get to know each other.
A southerner from Geelong, I fell in love with neuroscience, with an invested interest in Early Childhood Development, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Anxiety - removing the stigma, and helping children and their families live meaningful, independent and happy lives.
After relocating to Longreach in 2020, I could see the barriers to accessing specialised Allied Health for those in rural, remote & regional areas. With limited options for utilising NDIS funding, Little Legs Outback Occupational Therapy aims to pioneer accessibility for private Early Intervention - something that is often not a choice, but a need.
My mission is to deliver supportive, evidence-based strategies to help parent’s and carers feel they have the tools to support their child and family to build practical, lifelong and meaningful skills.
Collaboratively working with the National Disability Insurance Agency, I have found passion in supporting families in navigating this incredible nationwide Scheme.
I’m so excited to get to know you.
Yours in health,
Lizzie Kearney
