Episode 19: It takes a team: Navigating multi-disciplinary collaboration.

In this episode, Jackie is joined by Josh and Georgia to discuss multidisciplinary collaboration, exploring why reaching out to other providers is crucial for getting a holistic picture of each client and ensuring aligned approaches across disciplines. Our conversation covers what happens when true collaboration is missing - from mixed messaging to gaps in therapy provision - and the importance of clear goal-setting and managing overlapping scopes of practice.We discuss navigating different professional opinions through healthy task-based conflict, when collaboration might not be necessary, and how to support families in becoming central coordinators of their care team. Tune in for practical tips on scheduling care team meetings, creating actionable outcomes, and building the collaborative skills that benefit both clinicians and the families we serve.Be sure to follow us on instagram @pip.castThis podcast is brought to you by Kid Link Occupational Therapy.We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture.
