NDIS & Disability Support

A safety net for children with disabilities and their families.

At Kids First, we understand that getting the best therapy and support services for your child is your number one priority. We know from experience that navigating the NDIS isn’t always easy when your child has unique needs.

We have one sincere, yet simple goal: to support you and your child with the wholehearted, professional care that you need and deserve.

Maybe travelling from therapist to therapist has been tricky and made it difficult for your child to get the cohesive, holistic support your child needs. Or perhaps you’ve just been given a diagnosis and you’re completely overwhelmed, worried about the future, and not sure what the best therapy is for your child.

We’re here for families just like you. Many of our staff have been in your shoes and are only a few steps ahead of you. We help children dealing with disabilities like Autism, Aspergers, Down syndrome, and other developmental delays, setting them up for a happy, capable, and healthy life.

Our speech pathologists, occupational therapists, child psychologists and teachers have extensive experience supporting children who have NDIS plans and are all here to make a positive difference in your family’s life.

Giving families hope, guidance, and vital support

If you’re looking for well-rounded, professional support for your child, you’re in the right place. Since 2007, Kids First has been a place of acceptance, care, and practical support for children with:

Autism Spectrum Disorder
Down Syndrome
ADHD
Sensory Processing Disorder
Sight impairment
Prader-Willi syndrome

Cerebral Palsy
Rett’s Disorder

Your NDIS provider

We can help your child meet their goals with professional, evidence-based therapy and support services if your child’s NDIS Plan is self-managed or managed by a registered plan management provider.

If you’re not sure whether your child is eligible or want to know how we can help you make the most of your NDIS funding, give us a call today.

Your early intervention provider

Did you know that children aged 0 to 6 do not need to have a diagnosed disability to be eligible for funded support from the NDIS?

The Australian Government’s Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) program provides financial assistance to families so that they can meet the evolving needs of young children who have developmental delays or disabilities. At Kids First, our multi-disciplinary team has helped thousands of children aged 0 to 6 overcome their early challenges in play, communication, social relationships and functional behaviors.

We’ve supported their families and helped parents to make informed choices for their children too. The support that your child with unique needs receives now could make a world of difference to their future.

“See what our amazing community has to say…”

Kids First is a warm place. We feel safe and accepted. The team is very experienced and treats me with respect. My child just loves going to Kids First and always comes away smiling.

Katie’s Dad

Kids first is a one stop shop, it takes the stress out of shopping around for different therapists. I have been using Kids first services for 12 years and they are a great wealth of knowledge.
They have supported my family through the NDIS process and made everything easy!

Dess

Max's Mum

Welcomed, accepted, respected, so much so that we have come to feel that we are part of one big extended Kids First family and it’s beautiful to be a part of something that is so positive and supportive.

Kylie

Ben and Nathan's Mum

Having all his therapies under the same roof is fantastic. The therapists will talk to each other and will often suggest things for each other to work on with my child. This inclusive approach makes me feel like all the bases are being covered. It also takes the pressure off me as a parent to relay messages to different therapists. I also love that they will liaise with my child’s day care so everyone involved in his care are working toward the same goals.
