Service Manager

As a Service Manager, I oversee the day-to-day administrative and operational functions of AKPS in order to support the therapist team. A large part of my role includes work in client documentation and communication. I also plan, develop and organise marketing activities in order to support the service growth of AKPS.

I obtained my Master’s Degree in International Marketing in Scotland and Diploma in Public Relations and Advertising in Hong Kong. I have over 15 years of experience in client liaison and marketing communication in both Hong Kong and Australia. These experiences have allowed me to work for various organizations, marketing/PR agencies and government bodies over the years.

In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy travelling, singing and swimming.

I love the Company Mission of AKPS – With Love, We Help Children, Support Families, and Strengthen Communities. It is my pleasure to be part of Dr Amy’s team to share our love and passion with our clients and their families.

Administration Officer

My role as an Administration Officer is to provide administrative support for AKPS services. I work closely with our Service Manager and aim to assist her with our day-to-day administrative work and client documentation.

I have completed a Master of Public Health Degree major in Health Promotion at the University of Queensland and a Bachelor of Nutrition Science Degree at the Queensland University of Technology. My passion is to provide community services to people in need and achieve health equity. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their best health. I wish to assist people to obtain their needs and enjoy a healthier life.

I have previous experiences working and volunteering for different not-for-profit organisations, which gave me the opportunities to develop my administrative and interpersonal skills within different community settings.

As part of the AKPS team, I am excited to contribute and support the team to provide quality services to the community.

Allied Health Assistant

At AKPS, I am an Allied Health Assistant. I provide the physiotherapy exercise programs prescribed by Dr Amy. I aim to maximise our client’s needs and satisfactions by providing client-orientated services, such as home visits. My role is to work with Dr Amy to maximise the effectiveness and positively evaluate the progression of programs. Thus, ensuring the program is most beneficial for our client and their health.

Currently, I am studying in my 3rd year of Bachelor of Podiatry at Queensland University of Technology. I have experience in a wide range of volunteering programs, particularly in children and hospital based services.

I am passionate about children’s services as I am highly conscious about the importance of early intervention with health professionals. It can provide them accelerated functional development, hence giving them an early chance to improve their quality of life.

Allied Health Assistant

Hi, my name is Renee. I am a mature aged Allied Health Assistant and mum to 3. I have a background in childcare. I began my career in childcare in 2004 and progressed to early intervention in 2015. As an Allied Health Assistant, I work alongside paediatric physiotherapist Dr Amy, occupational therapists and speech therapists to provide and implement specific programs for the individual child. By creatively incorporating the child's interest into the session, while challenging and adapting to the needs of the day, children become excited about therapy and ultimately learn through play.

Early childhood theorist Vygotsky suggests that the main source of developmental learning in early years is play. "In play a child deals with things as having meaning."

My goal is to provide a meaningful, holistic, fun and engaging program to ensure positive outcomes and achieving goals.

If it’s fun and interesting, we will want to learn. Let's play and learn together!

Allied Health Assistant

Hi, I am Joe Kim, an Allied Health Assistant at AKPS. Welcome to an introduction about myself! I am currently studying in my 4 th year of Bachelor of Podiatry at Queensland University of Technology.

During my course of study, I have had a lot of clinical experience with the paediatric population in the health clinic at QUT Podiatry. Also, I have had various teaching experiences for some sports for kids such as football, basketball, badminton, and swimming.

I am very happy to work at AKPS with Dr Amy and our team members. I believe all kids are angels. Thus, I think that they deserve countless love and care. The goal I would like to achieve is to help the children be active and experience full joyfulness.

In line with a prescription by Dr Amy, I am striving to provide the most effective services to clients. Early intervention is critical in order to improve the developmental and functional movement of the body in young children. Through Home-visit and Client-oriented services, I will try my best to optimise the quality of life for all lovely kids.

Allied Health Assistant

As an Allied Health Assistant at AKPS, a large part of my role is to work with Dr Amy to plan and conduct family-centred physiotherapy programs for clients at their own home or other designated venues such as their school and local park. My goal is to empower families by helping their children work towards their fullest potential through play-based therapy that is not only fun and engaging for the child, but also tailored to their needs and preferences.

Currently, I am a third year Physiotherapy student studying at The University of Queensland. I have a range of work and volunteering experiences involving children and patient care outside of university, and a great appreciation for the importance of early intervention in supporting a child’s development.

Paediatrics is certainly an area of practice that I would love to pursue if future opportunities allow, and it is my privilege to be a part of AKPS – a company that truly cares and tirelessly advocates for their children and families. I am proud to be working with Dr Amy and her team in striving towards the Company Mission: With Love, We Help Children, Support Families, and Strengthen Communities.

Allied Health Assistant

I am an Allied Health Assistant at AKPS where I help deliver and supervise at-home exercise programs created by the Physiotherapist. My main goal is to ensure the client enjoys the exercises by being proactive and keeping the session fun. Furthermore, I aim to help clients develop self-efficacy in their exercise programs and ensure positive development both mentally and physically.

I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor’s of Exercise and Sports Science (Honours). I have gained many experiences working with children of all ages through university courses and placements as well as being a figure skating coach for 5 years.

I believe that movement and exercise is particularly important for children as it is crucial for development of gross motor skills, coordination and cognition. Hence why I am passionate about encouraging exercise for children as its benefits contribute to general well-being and even everyday life.
