Parent Coaching & Support

Parent & Family Support

We work with parents to build skills and confidence in supporting their child’s everyday activities and family routines.

We take time to understand what matters to you and your family, considering mental health, relationships, surroundings and supports to guide how we work together.

How We Work

You know your child and family. We use a coaching approach to build on your strengths and work through activities you want help with.

Together, we explore options, try changes between sessions and review what helps. This can include supporting your child’s skills, adjusting expectations or changing routines and surroundings.

Sessions involve you, your child or both, depending on your needs.

Examples of Areas We Can Work On

  • Mornings: simplify steps and adjust routines, clothing or surroundings.
  • Transitions: prepare for changes and make them more predictable.
  • After-school overwhelm: recognise overload and allow time for recovery.
  • Homework and organisation: develop ways to start tasks, plan and keep track.
  • Play and outings: adjust activities so your child can participate.

Support for You and Your Family

We also support your mental health, relationships and balance between caring and other responsibilities.

Funding

NDIS: parent training and coaching can be funded when it addresses your child’s disability-related needs and participation and meets funding requirements. We accept self-managed and plan-managed funding.

Medicare: eligible treatment for your own mental health requires an appropriate referral. General parent coaching is not automatically covered.

Up to two family or carer sessions per calendar year can form part of your child’s eligible Better Access treatment, when clinically appropriate and with consent. Your child does not attend. These count towards their annual session limit.

Private appointments are also available.
