Peer Support Groups
Peer Support Groups are for children and their families with additional needs or chronic illness. Children in our PlayConnect+ groups have been diagnosed with genetic disorders, hearing loss, speech delay, impaired mobility, developmental delay, and a variety of undiagnosed additional needs.
These are Parent Peer Support groups for children and their families with additional needs.
Age group: 0-18
A plan or referral is NOT required to attend the early support playgroups.
These playgroups run independently to the NDIS.
