What Tess says about working at Cooee

Working at Cooee has provided me with countless opportunities to grow and develop, as a professional, a clinician and a person. I really enjoy working as a part of a multidisciplinary team in a workplace that truly values growth and development. Most of all I love meeting new children and their families and working collaboratively to achieve functional and meaningful goals.
