What is the Key Worker model?
Whether you're looking for paediatric, teen or adult support, our practitioners can help guide you
In line with national guidelines for best practice in Early Childhood Intervention, a key worker is a dedicated therapist who becomes the primary point of contact for your child and your family.
They are an early childhood intervention professional, specialising in a collaborative, holistic and personalised approach to therapeutic intervention for children and their families.
The key worker model has numerous benefits such as:
Focusing on capacity building and evidence-based approaches to meet goals in your child's environment.

Having a primary point of contact allows for smoother communication.
Reducing multiple appointments with multiple therapists, saving time and costs.
Empowering you to actively participate in your child's therapy and build a team around your child by focusing on the strengths and needs of your child and family
