Early Intervention Family Support (Telehealth)

A flexible, family-centred way to support your child’s development — wherever you live.

Early Intervention Family Support (Telehealth) provides play-based, family-centred support for children under 9 and their families, delivered remotely via secure video sessions. This service is designed to support the foundational skills that make everyday life and learning feel easier such as emotional regulation, attention, communication, confidence, routines, and independence.

Rather than focusing only on the child, this service works alongside parents to build practical, realistic strategies that can be used in daily routines, play, homeschooling, and early learning environments. Telehealth allows intervention to happen in your child’s natural home environment, where skills are most meaningful and transferable, and is especially suited to families in rural and remote communities or those needing flexible access to support.

Support is strengths-based, neuro-affirming, and tailored to each family’s goals. Services may be accessed privately or through NDIS Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) / Capacity Building funding for eligible children.
