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.
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. 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. 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. We adjust as things change
Children grow, needs change. We stay flexible and responsive, checking in with you regularly.
Who This Service Is For

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.
