Our team is passionate about offering a range of group experiences, workshops and specialised clinics for children and their carers. We believe the opportunity to combine therapies and children offers a fun and dynamic social learning environment which targets specialised developmental skills.
Our team believes that learning is ongoing, and 1 small bit of information or change can make a big difference in supporting yourself and your child to grow. Our team is happy to work with you, family, learning environments, community groups, sports clubs or organisation to provide education sessions on a range of developmental topics and situations. Please call to discuss your ideas further.

The Alert Program®, with its user-friendly approach, helps anyone articulate their inner experience of self-regulation (how alert they feel). Self-regulation awareness turns into action with the program’s simple, low budget strategies and resources. The program emphasizes how to change alert levels throughout the day, making it easy to get out of bed, work, play, learn, learn at school, relax, socialize, and go to bed.
The Alert Program® is a judgment-free zone that starts with the understanding that we are all sensory processors. We touch, see, hear, taste, smell and move through space. And it’s up to our brains and bodies to make sense of all that. That’s a lot of incoming information before we even get to any learning.
The program aims to teach children and adult how to help regulate their nervous system to promote their optimal functioning in everyday life.
Groups are run based on children’s age with a maximum of 4 children per group.

A workshop for parents who would like support regarding their child’s sleep. Families will gain an understanding on positive sleep practices for their child.
Sleep is important for growth, health, learning and emotional wellbeing. Lack of adequate sleep impacts on our coping skills, concentration, behaviour, physical coordination and on family life. Some families may be finding it challenging if their child:
• Takes more than 30 minutes to settle to sleep
• Wakes during the night
• Co-sleeps with their parents
• Wakes early in the morning
• Doesn’t get enough sleep
In this workshop, parents will be provided with information to understand sleep and sleep disturbances as well as strategies that may be useful in managing their child’s sleep disturbances. The workshop will also focus on ways to assess a child’s sleep and develop individual sleep plans using the strategies chosen by the family.
The information is based on the SleepWise Program which is designed to assist families of children with developmental delays.
The SleepWise Program consists of 3 parent education sessions and 2-3 individual session to discuss individual plans/progress.

"𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘆." – First-time mum, Jess. (But our CaFHS nurses are here to help 💜)
This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek we're recognising that while breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience, it isn't always easy – and no family should feel they have to navigate the challenges alone.
For Jess, breastfeeding her son Dexter was much harder than she expected.
"My problems with breastfeeding centred around not being able to get my son to latch due to my anatomy, as well as ensuring he was feeding frequently enough to gain weight as he was struggling to maintain healthy weight gain. I also had a problem with my milk supply due to complications at birth."
Before connecting with the Child and Family Health Service (CaFHS), Jess had started using a nipple shield.
"I had started using a shield to help him feed prior to connecting with CaFHS but wasn’t really given any direction as to how to use it, or any guidance about how to increase my milk supply."
Jess said she felt incredibly supported and validated by CaFHS when she received at home visits and attended four appointments at the Marion Breastfeeding Clinic.
"Before receiving support, it was an extremely vulnerable and emotional time for me. It was really hard not to blame myself and feel guilty for breastfeeding to not come as easily as I wanted it to."
"It was so reassuring to be able to reach out for support and be given a plan to help my son gain weight. It was also just really reaffirming to be told that my goal of exclusively breastfeeding was achievable with strategies provided to help boost my milk supply, as well as how to get him to confidently feed with the use of a shield."
Jess hopes her experience encourages other parents to seek support if they need it.
“I think it’s important to remember that struggling to breastfeed is not a reflection of your ability as a parent. It’s okay to reach out and accept support as I know in my case, without utilising the services as CaFHS I don’t think I would be confident enough to have continued persevering to breastfeed."
Thank you so much to Jess for sharing your breastfeeding journey and CaFHS experience with us. 🫶
