Our Journey

Patches was established in 2012 by paediatrician and leading FASD researcher, Dr James Fitzpatrick, based upon a vision of an Australia where everybody has access to quality assessment and therapy services. Patches has expanded its reach over the past decade, now with clinics across Australia, and the ability to assist those living in remote regions via its telehealth and remote outreach services. Patches’ team of specialised allied health, medical, and psychology professionals help to enrich the lives of thousands of Australians, every year.

The Patches Difference

Our aim is to support individuals and families to reach their goals at every step of the journey. We achieve this through our holistic care model, which allows individuals and families to have access to assessment and therapy under the one roof. 

Our team of paediatricians, psychologists and medical and allied health specialists are highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of complex neurodevelopmental conditions including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Global Development Delay (GDD), as well as a range of other diagnoses.  Following diagnosis, our multi-disciplinary team provides a range of therapy services, occupational therapy, speech pathology, social work, physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and psychology. We see patients both privately and through the NDIS. 

By improving a young person's health and developmental outcomes, we increase their chances of achieving a higher level of education, a greater degree of participation, and set them up for success later in life.

Our Ethos

Supporting individuals
Seeing a society where children, adults and families are equipped to reach their full potential is our goal. Where each individual finds their place in the community and takes charge through functional independent living.
Empowering communities
By helping support each individual, a community will thrive. We do this by delivering high quality diagnostic and therapy services. Working with communities in a holistic manner forms the foundation of why we do what we do.
Changing lives
By improving a young person's health and developmental outcomes, we increase their chances of achieving a higher level of education, a greater degree of participation, and set them up for success later in life.
