Free Services
Therapy is only a part of a bigger picture for supporting children. If you have developmental concerns for your child or are on a waitlist for support, Plumtree’s free programs can get things started.
Families of children with a diagnosis will also benefit from new skills for a good life.
Visit our playgroups
Plumtree holds weekly online or face-to-face playgroups. Facilitated by our therapists, these fun and interactive sessions provide opportunities for your child to socialise with their peers and learn together. Parents can meet our team to discuss developmental concerns, explore Plumtree’s programs, and connect with other parents.
Attend our workshops
Plumtree’s workshops and courses share knowledge on nurturing family relationships, making the most of your NDIS plan, toilet training, and more. They are facilitated by members of our therapy team, guest speakers or our trained parent peer workers, who are raising a child with a disability or delay.
