Self referral | QEC Skip to main content

Our team is here to connect you to the program that is most suitable to your needs and goals. Making a referral is the first step.

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

QEC accepts referrals from parents/carers and health professionals.

Please note, if you’re admitted to the program and need a certificate of attendance for your employer, we can provide one on request.
