Kylie Anne Good

Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist

Can you tell us a bit about your background?

I’m a Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist with nearly 30 years of experience working with babies, children, and adolescents. I’ve recently joined the Life Care Planning Team.

I have experience working with clients with a wide range of complex disabilities including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, neurological conditions, paediatric stroke, vision impairment, epilepsy, spina bifida and traumatic brain injury. Many of my clients are now grown up!

Where have you worked, and how has that shaped your approach?

I have enjoyed providing paediatric Occupational Therapy services to clients in intensive care, acute wards, NSW Paediatric Rehabilitation Clinics and outpatients in hospital settings. I have also spent many years working in community multidisciplinary team settings and in private practice. I have worked at organisations such as the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, Sydney Children’s Hospital, and The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.  

I have provided services to metropolitan and regional clients and their families. I grew up in Regional NSW and recognises the difference in service provision for my clients. Telehealth has been a great asset for improving outreach.

What qualities help you make a difference?

I strive to be collaborative and solution-focused in my approach. I will persevere to achieve positive outcomes for my clients, even when this takes a long time.

I have a strong well-established network of allied health and medical professionals I draw on for my clients’ care.  I’m known for my compassion, attention to detail, responsiveness and innovation. Sometimes many solutions are tried until we find the best fit!

What do you enjoy outside of work?

I enjoy taking my dog for local bushwalks, outdoor training and gym classes , and trying new recipes. I love spending time with my family and friends, meandering through markets, and seeing shows and performances.
