CAPS was established in 2008 in the Sutherland Shire, and our experienced and caring team has had the pleasure of working with many families, schools and health professionals in the Shire. We are a Miranda-based clinic, home to a team of eight clinicians, with each bringing specialist skills and a wealth of experience to our clients.
