Stepping Stones - Broome

Supporting Children from birth to 18 year olds to develop to their full potential

Opening in May 2022, Stepping Stones is excited to begin offering Allied Health Services to the Broome community. Stepping Stones looks forward to supporting children from birth-18 years, to develop to their full potential.

Meet Ashlee

Ashlee Ritchie, Senior Occupational Therapist now lives in the beautiful Broome region, and looks forward to providing regular, face to face supports.

She remains in (online) close contact with the Southwest team to ensure that all Broome clients are well supported. This means that Broome clients will have access to remote Psychology and Speech Pathology supports which Ashlee will continue with in person, and the team will very much enjoy occasional trips to Broome to also see clients face to face!

Ashlee looks forward to growing the Stepping Stones’ Broome team as she settles in.
