Amanda Bucello, Director

Amanda is an extremely passionate and caring occupational therapist who loves seeing children, young people and families be empowered to overcome any challenges and achieve outcomes that enable them to engage fully in life.

Amanda completed a Bachelor of Science from Monash University majoring in psychology, before completing her Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at Australian Catholic University in 2016. She has worked across community health and private practice, supporting children under 13 years of age.
