EVENTS
Allied Health education session
We understand that accessing services and understanding the process can be overwhelming and confusing. That's why we are hosting a free information session to educate and discuss the different health services, support services, and funding available to your child and family.
The session will feature presentations from occupational therapists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and support coordinators.
Each service will explain its role, capabilities, how it works together, and how it can help you. There will also be opportunities for questions and clarification. Please note that this information session is not a place to discuss indivdual therapy about your child but rather to educate parents so they feel more empowered and confident about receiving the best possible care for their child.
One session will be hosted in the Ryde area and one in the Shire area. Please RSVP below.
