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.

What happens after you submit a referral?

You will be put in touch with our Assessment and Intake team and together discuss your needs and parenting goals, and choose a program best suited for your family.
