Behind the Scenes: Current Projects at South Coast Therapy & Support Group

Quality meeting

At South Coast Therapy & Support Group, we’re committed to continually improving our services to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients and community. Here’s a look at some of the exciting projects and improvements currently underway across our team:

Expanding Group Programs

We’re reviewing our current group therapy offerings and planning for the year ahead. One key area of focus is the development of an interoception group to support emotional regulation and body awareness. To support this, we’ll be running team in-services to build knowledge and consistency in delivery.

Enhancing Clinical Templates and Resources

Our team is updating assessment and treatment plan templates to ensure they reflect best practice and are easy to use. This includes updates for both occupational therapy and speech pathology reports within our clinical software. These improvements will streamline documentation and support more targeted, effective therapy.

Program Planning and Educational Tools

Planning is underway for structured 10-week programs for therapy groups, including updated session plans and adaptable resources. We’re also building new resources for school-based work and clinic sessions, such as calm spaces, emotional regulation activities, and indoor adaptations for active therapy groups.

Clinic Environment and Resources

We’re reviewing and updating the clinic spaces to make them more welcoming and functional. This includes refreshing therapy equipment, reorganising shared spaces, and developing welcome packs for new clients and families. A few fun touches are also being added to improve the environment — including a clinic fish tank!

Professional Development and Outcome Measures

Our internal team education program is being restructured into thematic modules, allowing for more tailored learning experiences. We’re also reviewing the outcome measures we use in therapy, such as quality of life scales, to ensure we’re capturing meaningful progress for our clients.

Shellharbour Services Expansion

Our Shellharbour clinic is growing steadily, and we’re continuing to promote services to reach more families in the region.

Scheduling and Communication Updates

We’re reviewing our group scheduling processes to ensure accuracy and availability. This includes updating term schedules and preparing for upcoming community and parent engagement events. We’re also continuing to refine our letter and communication templates to enhance clarity and consistency.

These projects reflect our ongoing dedication to growth, quality improvement, and client-centred care. We’re proud of the collaborative work happening across all areas of the organisation, and we’re excited about the positive changes these initiatives will bring for our clients, team, and community.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to evolve and improve our services across the Shoalhaven and Illawarra regions.
