Middle Swan families – Kiind is coming to you!

If you're a parent, carer or kin raising a child with disability, autism and/or developmental delay, our team is bringing support closer to home.

Whether you have questions about the NDIS, accessing a diagnosis, school supports, financial assistance, or aren't sure where to start, we're here to support you every step of the way.

We'll be in Middle Swan weekly on Tuesdays:
Date: Commencing Tuesday, 21 July 2026
Time: 8:30am – 3:30pm
Location: Swan Child and Parent Centre, 574 Cockman Cross, Stratton

You can book a free one-on-one session with our team or drop in for a chat during the day.

We're thrilled to be expanding our in-person navigation services into the Middle Swan and look forward to connecting with local families, answering questions, and helping more people access the supports they need.

Let’s get ready for Term 3 🎒

The school holidays are almost over, which means it's a great time to start thinking about back-to-school and preparing for the months ahead.

Whether things have changed for your child recently or you'd like some guidance and support, now is the time to connect with one of our Peer Navigators through a Pathway Planning Session.

We can help you with:

🟣 Advocating for your child at school
🟣 Providing guidance on positive behaviour support
🟣 Looking after your own wellbeing in your caring role
🟣 Planning for your child's future after school
🟣 Finding financial assistance and cost-of-living supports
🟣 Connecting with community services and supports
🟣 And so much more!
