Hello friends and families!

It's been a tough few weeks for Brisbane and we sincerely hope you are all safe and well. Many thanks to our families who worked with us to change appointments, change locations and communicated with us about how we could continue to support you and your family. Especially with the situation changing by the hour!

We were sad to see the Brisbane Disability Connection Expo and Moreton Kids Festival events postponed, however we are happy to share that new dates have been set. These are below. We look forward to seeing you there at either or both events, and especially look forward to Therapy Dog Nala's debut at the Kids Festival in Early Start Australia's Quiet Zone!

In this edition we're showcasing feeding therapy. Support for feeding and mealtimes is available at all Brisbane clinics. Find out more about this service on Page 3.

We have a great range of group therapy programs on offer across all of our Brisbane clinics. These are running over the remainder of the school term and also during the upcoming Easter holidays. Check out Page 4 to see what we have on offer.

Want to get a snapshot of life at Early Start? Our Toowong team have had fun putting this very short video together to show you their welcoming clinic space and friendly faces. Enjoy!

For our Springfield families - Don't forget that From 7 March 2022 all appointments will be held at our brand new clinic located at Springfield Tower in Springfield Central. Everyone is welcome to attend Springfield's open day. Click through to the last page to see your invite details.

Thank you x
