Our team of experienced Social Workers support children, their families and teachers to help them thrive.
Living outside of a city shouldn’t mean you can’t access the services your child needs.
Our NDIS & Early Childhood Approach (ECA) funded therapies are designed to support your child’s learning and development throughout rural and remote NSW.
Through in-person and telecare therapy, we provide high-quality, personalised NDIS & ECA funded services for children between 2 and 12.
Social Workers support children and families in connecting to resources and developing strategies that help when the things are stressful or difficult. They work to ensure that any other people involved understand each child and family’s unique strengths and needs.
Our social workers can assist parents/carers in many ways, such as:
- Support to help you better understand your child’s diagnosis
- Parenting support and education (individual or group)
- Supporting you to explain and advocate for your child’s needs,
- Psychosocial assessment and connection to services in your community,
- Practical advice and help with benefits, entitlements and finances,
- Support with managing family difficulties and crises.
