Frequently Asked Questions

CliniKids is a unique clinical service that puts ‘research into practice’. We provide families of children (aged under 12 years) with developmental delay and/or autism spectrum disorder with diagnostic and therapy services. 

What sets us apart from other providers is that our team of highly trained specialists, work closely researchers from Telethon Kids Institute to provide holistic services that are integrated with cutting edge research. We provide some Australian first, evidence-based therapies that support children and their families to reach the best outcomes possible. 

 It is our hope that it becomes an international hub of clinical research excellence.
