For children and young people to thrive, it is vital they access help early and are connected quickly to health professionals who understand their needs

Early Start Australia accept referrals from GPs and paediatricians for support with diagnosis and for ongoing therapy to address a range of developmental, cognitive, and physical challenges that a child or young person may be experiencing.

Our psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech language pathologists provide in-clinic and in-home treatment and assessment services.

As registered providers, we accept many Medicare referral types.

Families are also welcome to self-refer.
