NDIS registration in progress Self-managed & plan-managed participants welcome Supporting children, young people & families

Family & Early Support

Early support is not just about therapy – it’s about everyday life feeling calmer, more predictable and more connected for your child and family.

We provide gentle, family-centred NDIS supports that fit into real routines: mornings, mealtimes, play, school, community and faith life. We work alongside you, not instead of you.

  • Support for children & young people
  • Family-centred, culturally aware approach
  • Routines, participation & confidence-building

We can work in partnership with your therapists, educators and support coordinator so everyone is on the same page.

Family-centred practice

We see you as partners in support, not just “recipients” of services.

Culturally responsive

We respect culture, language, faith and how your family does things.

Gentle, consistent workers

We focus on predictable, calm support for children and young people.

What Family & Early Support Can Include

Supports are tailored to your child, your family and your routines. We aim to make everyday life just a little bit easier and more enjoyable.

Daily routines

Support around mornings, after school, evenings and weekends – in line with therapy recommendations where appropriate.

Participation at home

Supporting your child to participate in play, chores, family activities and building independence step by step.

Community & social activities

Attending activities, programs, playgroups, extracurriculars, park visits and community events with gentle support.

School & early learning support

Liaising with educators (within our scope), supporting transitions to kinder, school or after-school programs.

Emotional regulation & calm support

Practising strategies from your therapy team to support regulation, transitions and anxiety, where appropriate.

Supporting parents & carers

Listening, sharing practical ideas, and working with you to make supports sustainable in everyday life.

How We Work With Children & Families

We know families are busy, tired and doing their best. Our role is to add support, not pressure.

  1. 1. We listen to your story

    We start by listening – to you, your child (in whatever way they communicate) and what life really looks like at home and in the community.

  2. 2. We build support around your routines

    Support is planned around real routines: meals, bath time, homework, prayer, outings – not just ideal schedules on paper.

  3. 3. We adjust as things change

    Children grow, needs change. We stay flexible and responsive, checking in with you regularly.

Who This Service Is For

Family & early support may be a good fit if you recognise your family in any of these:

Families of young children

Early years or primary school-aged children with developmental, physical, sensory or psychosocial needs.

Busy, stretched households

Parents or carers juggling multiple responsibilities who would benefit from practical, steady support.

Culturally diverse & faith-based families

Households wanting support that honours language, culture, faith practices and family roles.
