School Readiness Program
Supporting your child’s development and helping them get the best start to their school journey.
Our School Readiness Day provides families with an opportunity to learn more about their child’s development and identify any areas where they may benefit from additional support.
The day brings together experienced health and allied health professionals to provide a range of developmental assessments and health checks in a welcoming, family-friendly environment.
What will be available on the day?
Children will have:
- Hearing screening with Hear and Say
- Ear health checks
- Speech Pathology assessment
- Occupational Therapy assessment
Who can benefit?
The program is suitable for children from around 3 years of age through to school age. Your child may benefit if you have questions or concerns about their:
- Speech or language development
- Hearing or ear health
- Ability to listen or follow instructions
- Attention and concentration
- Fine motor skills, such as drawing, colouring or using scissors
- Social skills and interactions
- Managing emotions or changes in routine
- Overall development and confidence
What happens after the assessments?
The assessments provide families with a better understanding of their child’s strengths and any areas where additional support may be helpful.
Where needed, our health professionals can provide advice, recommendations and connections to further services or supports.
An ASQ-TRAK must be completed before attending the School Readiness Day. Our Allied Health Professionals can support families to complete this beforehand.
The ASQ-TRAK is a family-friendly developmental screening tool designed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. It helps us understand your child’s strengths and development across a range of important areas.
A GP referral is required to attend. If you’re unsure how to arrange a referral, our team can help guide you through the process.
