What is a Key Worker?

A Key Worker can support your child across all the priority areas of their development and work on what is most important for them. Often when a child has a disability or developmental delays there are multiple areas of concern. Through the key worker model we can focus on your child as a whole, working on all those areas together consistently. They develop a solid relationship with you and your child so you can have that main support around your child’s therapy needs.

Our Key Workers are also known for their collaboration with other services your child receives. They can help you to access other specialised therapists as required, link you in with community supports and activities such as playgroups and childcare, and implement strategies and interventions shared by their therapy team.

Some areas which we can support with include toilet training, play and social interactions, building mealtime routines, supporting regulation and behaviour, and some early communication strategies.

Current evidence supports the Key Worker model as the gold standard of care in therapy for young children and has been proven to have many beneficial results.

Our approach

  • Family-centred support
    We believe that families know their child best, so the greatest success happens when support is tailored to your unique family. Our key workers build a partnership with you and child, focus on the strengths and goals of your individual family, and ensure you are involved through every step of the journey.
  • Integrating strategies into daily routines
    By incorporating therapeutic strategies into everyday activities such as toileting, meal-times and playground play, we can help your child gain confidence and competence to develop into young achievers!
  • Key collaborators
    Navigating your child’s first NDIS plans and services can be overwhelming. Your key worker will act as a key point of contact for all supports to ensure a cohesive team around your child. Their role is to be your child’s main therapist and provide a consistent, regular therapy support. They will collaborate with our child’s other therapists to implement all aspects of therapy within your sessions in your child’s environments.
