Trader Spotlight: Dee Wardrop Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy Services
Tucked into Northcote Rise is a warm, welcoming hub where children and families are supported to grow, connect, and flourish. Dee Wardrop Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy Services has long been a trusted part of the local landscape—not only for their clinical expertise, but for the heart they bring to every session.
Dee and her passionate team of over 30 clinicians work with children to build communication, independence, and confidence—skills that create lasting impact across all stages of life. What truly sets them apart is their commitment to seeing and celebrating each child for who they are, and working in close partnership with families to create meaningful, tailored support.
What began with one family needing weekend help has grown into a purpose-driven practice with multiple Melbourne locations. But 302 High Street, Northcote has always been home.
Services include speech therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, group programs, and a highly accessible Allied Health Assistant program—designed to make regular support more affordable and sustainable. They also work in schools across Melbourne, meeting children in their everyday environments.
This is a clinic where new graduates collaborate with therapists of 30+ years’ experience. A space where flexibility, connection and community care are embedded in the model. And at its core, a belief remains: that every family deserves support, even if they can’t afford it.
Northcote is proud to call this place one of its own.
