Or a combination of both

Watch how Online Telehealth worked successfully for the Fleming family.

During these challenging times, we would like to remind families that we are able to offer flexible access options for our services. All sessions are still currently conducted online, unless pre-arranged with your child’s team.

However, we’d like to reassure you that our unwavering support for your child and family is our priority.

Please speak with your friendly team to work out the best way for your family and our team to be able to deliver our essential services to your family.

Hear from our families

Interactive Online Services made sense in terms of availability, flexibility and frequency of sessions. It also allowed me to call in from work while Caroline and Ted were at home and his specialised team were in Sydney. That potential for us all to take part together was very important.
