A woman and a young boy are sitting at a table drawing with colored markers. The woman is smiling, wearing a navy polo with the logo 'Jelm Allied Health'. The boy is focused on his drawing, which includes various colorful sketches, and there are multiple markers on the table.

Our story

Jelm Allied Health began as Early Leaps Therapy in 2021, a small paediatric service supporting families in Melbourne’s west.

As our community grew, and our work expanded into youth and young adult services, we evolved into Jelm Allied Health — a name that reflects growth, identity, and the next stage of our journey.

Who We Support

We work with children, youth and young adults aged 2–25, helping them build skills, confidence and independence in everyday life — at home, school, work, and in the community.

Our approach

Our therapy is person- centred, strengths- based and neuroaffirming.

We honour each person’s communication style, interests and way of engaging with the world, and shape therapy that feels meaningful, respectful and empowering.

Our vision

We believe every young person deserves to feel seen, understood, and supported.
