Meaningful Practice Starts Here
We help occupational therapists, leaders, and organisations build sustainable, impactful practice, without burnout.
Rethinking What Sustainable Practice Looks Like
For over two decades, Dave has worked at the intersection of clinical practice, leadership, and education, supporting both children and the therapists who work with them.
As Co-founder and Director of MoveAbout Therapy Services, he has built a multi-site paediatric occupational therapy practice grounded in one core belief: when therapists are supported to do meaningful work, better outcomes follow.
This philosophy has shaped everything, from how teams are developed to how clinical reasoning is taught to how services are designed in the real world.
Today, Dave works with occupational therapists and allied health professionals across Australia, helping them:
- Strengthen clinical reasoning
- Navigate complexity with clarity
- Build sustainable, values-led practice
- Reconnect with why they do this work
