PlayAbility services & programs

NDIS Supports (0-8)

Developmental specialists promote the development of social communication, cognitive, self care, and motor skills. By developing these skills through play each child can have an improved sense of belonging and participate more meaningfully in their local community.

Mobile Toy Library

Our mobile toy library is like a book library - but for toys and parenting resources. The toy truck travels to various locations across the Bega Valley each term, including our playgroups.

Indigenous Family Support

Free and voluntary services for First Nations parents and carers to maintain meaningful connections to their community and support the well-being and development of their children.

NDIS Play therapy

Play therapy is a child-centred practice to assist children with their emotional development. Children who present with behavioral challenges learn to make sense of their lived experience and trauma through humanistic play.

NDIS Therapy Supports

At present, PlayAbility can offer speech pathology services including assessments. Delivery can include individual, group, or through supervision of a keyworker or therapy assistant.

Supported playgroups - kids 0 to 6 years

Supported Playgroups (0-6)

We hold free weekly supported playgroups in Eden, Bega and Cobargo. Families can enjoy a lightly structured playgroup lead by early childhood educators in a relaxed setting.

Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond: 12 week program

Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond

A free weekly program for women in the last trimester of their pregnancy through to baby turning 8 months old. Supporting healthy relationships and connections to community and culture.

Psychology

Our psychology service is committed to supporting children and their families.

NDIS Plan Management

Our Plan Management service can pay for services and provide financial oversight of your child’s NDIS funding. Your child’s plan will need to be funded for plan management to access this service.

NDIS Group Activities

We offer a range of programs in Eden and Bega for young children and teenagers. Group programs vary according to demand and special interests and can run through the school term or in the holidays.

Individual Family Support

From a chat about your child, helping out with transport or working through complex paperwork, we support families to feel connected and included.

NDIS: National Disability Insurance Scheme

PlayAbility is a registered NDIS provider. We provide Early Intervention and therapy supports for children (infants to young adults) with a funded NDIS plan.
