Bright Futures Begin Here

Empowering children in regional NSW with the support they need to thrive, grow, and transition to school with confidence and success.

They are our why

Children in regional NSW face unique challenges...

Access to essential health, developmental, and school readiness support is limited, with data showing regional children are at a significantly higher risk of health problems, developmental delays and poor school readiness.

 

Early intervention during the critical early years has proven to significantly improve health outcomes, ensure children meet developmental milestones, and build the skills needed for a confident transition to school. By providing timely, accessible services, we help bridge this gap, giving every child the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Our impact on the Nambucca Valley in 2024

We have provided 210 health, development and early learning support assessments to local children children aged 4-6 years.

We have provided 288 Child Ear Health and Hearing Screenings.

145 families have accessed our Community Clinic for follow-up health, development and early learning support.

66% of targeted local schools signed up to participate in our 2024 School Screening Program.

2024 was a big first year for our team
