Royal Far West provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary service to children from rural and remote NSW who have non-acute developmental, behavioural, learning and associated mental health disorders, and where there are no appropriate local services.
Referrals for eligible children are from general practitioners or medical specialists.
The service is provided:
The service involves comprehensive pre-assessment planning and case-conferencing (the latter occurring both within the clinical-educational service at Manly, and with rural service providers using broadband technologies).
The clinical team at Royal Far West covers a breadth of professions involved in child development and emotional wellbeing, including speech pathology, paediatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry, psychology, nursing, occupational therapy, social work, orthoptics and ophthalmology.
Children attending the Manly site are accompanied by their parent/s or caregiver/s and stay in hostel style accommodation in Drummond House. For further information click here.
