According to recent studies from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than a quarter of primary school aged children, and more than a third of high school aged children, experience anxiety and depression.
Mental health difficulties in children can have a significant impact on their health and wellbeing, and help early on is vital.
At Early Start Australia, our registered psychologists, provisional psychologists and occupational therapists can provide much needed support, by helping you and your child to understand more about mental health conditions and providing strategies to overcome mental health challenges.
Services include assessment, therapy and counselling.
Group therapy is also offered in some clinics.
Parents and caregivers are able to self-refer and no referral is required, however our registered psychologists and some of our occupational therapists are able to accept Mental Health Care Plans from a GP.
