We get it because we live it
We’re proudly neurodivergent.
We’re a small Bundoora-based team of allied health practitioners, counsellors, support coordinators, support workers and advocates.
We understand complex care needs, and what it takes to navigate the multifaceted, sometimes disconnected systems.
If you or your child have never quite clicked with other services, you’ll feel the difference here.
Our approach is person-centred, PDA-informed, and refreshingly practical – chosen to fit how your family, life, brain and body actually work. We work with you in person across Melbourne, or online across the rest of Victoria.
Whether you’re privately funded, NDIS-funded, or just starting to look for the right support, there’s no need to navigate the journey alone.
Hi I’m Rebecca,
Sunny Steps Founder
Before founding Sunny Steps, I worked as a Respite Care Team Leader in high-needs environments. I’m also a neurodivergent parent and carer myself, and I built Sunny Steps to bring those two worlds together – a service that actually understands the medical, disability and educational systems families are trying to navigate.
Elizabeth, the OT
Before and alongside her Occupational Therapy career, Elizabeth spent seven years in support and respite work with people with complex needs – experience that shapes how she practises today.
She focuses on sensory processing, fine motor development and PDA-informed practice, working with children across home, school, clinic and community – wherever suits the child and family best.
She holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours), 2023, and brings a strengths-based approach to every session – grounded equally in clinical training and real-world understanding.

We’ve established a close-knit network of amazing paediatricians allied health providers and support workers who have a lived experience of caring for someone with a disability. We only recommend providers that we can vouch for, and only hire people we’d feel comfortable leaving our own kids with.
