How we can help | QEC Skip to main content

We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as traditional owners of the lands on which we walk, live and raise our children.

We pay our respects to traditional owners past, present, future and any Aboriginal people present here today. We acknowledge the importance of children being raised with connections to culture, community and family.

It goes without saying – every family is unique. So, our approach, from the very start, is tailored to what each family and child need.

We support families with children aged from newborn until their 4th birthday.

Our team is made up of passionate professionals from a range of fields, including Registered/Enrolled Nurses, Early Parenting, Allied Health, Social Workers, Maternal and Child Health Nurses, Mental Health Clinicians, Midwives, Psychologists, Art Therapists and General Practitioners.

All of these practitioners are trained in the importance of play and the benefits it brings to parent-child bonds.

All of our staff work to create a welcoming and friendly environment where it’s easy for parents, carers, and children to learn, grow, and thrive.
