Kamini is a highly dedicated and passionate clinician who enjoys working with young children and their families within the multiculturally diverse communities in Victoria. Over the years of clinical practice, Kamini has grown professionally to become a strong advocate for early intervention and family-centered care. For Kamini, the best reward of her profession is the excited smiles on parent’s faces when their child makes a milestone achievement in the session. Her warm smile and friendly nature, paired with her bag of tricks, are her ‘secrets’ in building a strong rapport with her clients and their families.
Outside of work hours, Kamini enjoys exploring Melbourne's diverse food culture with her young family.
