Supporting families with both expertise and lived experience

A Key Worker acts as a central point of contact for families, helping to coordinate supports, clarify goals and ensure everyone involved is working toward the same outcomes for your child.

Your Key Worker works with you—not over you—helping you understand systems, make informed decisions and feel confident advocating for your child.

 Our Key Worker service can support families with:

• Understanding and implementing NDIS plans
• Coordinating and communicating with allied health professionals 
• Support with behaviours, emotional regulation and routines
• Guidance around school transitions and school readiness
• Support with sleep, daily routines and family systems
• Goal setting that reflects your child’s strengths, needs and priorities
• Counselling and therapeutic support for children and families
• Helping families navigate services without overwhelm
   

Support can be provided in-clinic, at home, in educational settings, or via parent consultations.

We take a trauma-informed, strengths-based and neuro-affirming approach to Key Worker support. This means we prioritise:

• Safety, trust and connection
• Practical strategies that work in real life
• Respect for each child’s unique neurotype
• Supporting parents and carers, not just the child
   

We understand that no two families are the same - and support is always tailored to your child and family context.

Leesa is an Early Childhood Educator, Key Worker and trauma-informed therapist, with extensive experience supporting children and families with complex developmental, emotional and behavioural needs.

She supports families with behaviour, school transitions and readiness, sleep and routines, skill development, counselling support, and oversight of NDIS plans from a Key Worker perspective. Leesa brings a broad range of therapeutic tools and a calm, practical approach to her work.

Leesa is currently completing her Play Therapy qualification, further strengthening her child-led and relational approach. As a parent to four neurodivergent children, she also brings invaluable lived experience, empathy and understanding to the families she supports.

Key Worker support may be helpful if:

• You feel overwhelmed coordinating supports
• You want clearer direction with your child’s NDIS plan 
• Your child is experiencing challenges with behaviour, routines or transitions 
• You’re preparing for kindergarten or school
• You want support that considers the whole family

Key Worker support may be accessed through:

• NDIS (plan-managed or self-managed)
• Private funding 

If you’re unsure whether Key Worker support is right for your family, we’re happy to talk it through.
