We support
Royal Far West offers multidisciplinary developmental, mental health and disability support services for country children up to the age of 12, to help them reach their full potential. These services are delivered at our Centre for Country Kids in Manly, via telehealth and in-community.

We build capacity
We work in partnership with early childhood centres, schools and other providers to improve outcomes for country children.

Our team of over 130 clinicians, including paediatricians, psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, nurses and orthoptists takes a unique wrap-around approach, helping to build the capacity of those around the children, including parents, carers, educators, health professionals and the broader community.

We give voice to the needs of country children:
As leaders in the field, we harness our knowledge, expertise and relationships to give voice to the needs of country children and to advocate for equitable access to services and outcomes.
