Paediatric Development Program
Our Paediatric Development Program (PDP) is a comprehensive health program for children from rural and remote regions of New South Wales who are facing complex developmental, mental health and behavioural challenges.
PDP supports children who do not have access to specialist paediatric services by offering multidisciplinary assessment, diagnosis, and treatment either face to face at our centre in Manly or through telecare. We also help families to connect with local services and liaise with their local schools. The program is free to families from rural and remote NSW who meet our specific eligibility criteria.
Our multidisciplinary teams of health and medical professionals provide much needed services to some of the most remote communities around Australia.
School Services
Our School Services Team partners with rural and remote preschools and primary schools across Australia to provide multidisciplinary services. Supporting children through the school system helps facilitate equal access to healthcare.
We deliver these services via telehealth and community visits, with each team focusing on schools in a set region. Our team includes psychologists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists who have experience in trauma-informed practice, developmental delays and behavioural health.
Bushfire Recovery Program
Our Bushfire Recovery Program is designed to support the wellbeing and resilience of children affected by the bushfires of 2019/20. It was awarded both the NSW and National Resilient Australia Community Award for service excellence in 2021.
The program has a focus on giving children a voice in the recovery process and has worked with 30 communities and supported some 3,000 children through group programs, individual therapy and capacity building. It recognises that dealing with the trauma of a natural disaster, like a bushfire can set children back for a number of years, so is designed to support children over the long term.
