Working together to make a real difference.

Are you worried about your child’s development?

Perhaps they’re facing learning challenges, social anxieties, or behavioural issues.

Finding the right support can feel overwhelming. Juggling appointments at different facilities and navigating complex diagnoses can be stressful. This can leave you feeling lost and unsure of how to best help your child reach their full potential.

At Kids First, we understand. That’s why we offer personalised care under one roof.

Our team at Kids First isn’t just experienced in helping children with a range of needs – many of them are parents too. They understand the warmth, sensitivity, and compassion you crave for your family.

Because all our therapists and teachers work together in one location, children who require combined therapies can receive everything they need without the hassle of traveling between different facilities. This seamless collaboration also allows our team to develop a comprehensive “big picture” approach to address your child’s specific challenges effectively.

Kids First welcomes children of all ages and abilities.

We understand the immediate needs families face, and our team is here to offer solutions that put you back on track for a brighter future.

We support children receiving self or plan managed NDIS funding, and we also welcome children who have a Medicare plan from their GP or are a member of a health fund.

If you’d like to learn more about how Kids First can help your family, please get in touch!

Our award-winning team is here to offer solutions that address your family’s immediate needs.
