Ever since we started our private practice in 2003, we have encountered people seeking our services who cannot afford the therapy fees. It’s heartbreaking to turn away children and families who are in need of help but are in a position where they can’t pay. So when we had the opportunity to set up a Not-for-Profit company in late 2022, we jumped at the chance.
The Kids Matters Community Foundation was established on the 27th January 2023. Our goal is to bridge the gap for those unable to access allied health, paediatrician services or extra curricular occupations/ activities for financial reasons. So far the Foundation has been able to provide assessment and strategies to a family who needed support to help their child at home, and to access funding from the NDIS. We want to help many more kids and their families reach their potential.
The Foundation is and will be funded by donations from businesses (including Kids Matters OT), community and government grants, and generous donations from other families seeking to lend a hand.
Imagine how many lives we could change with your help? We invite you to support parents in need to access this valuable service. Please consider a donation now.
