At Spirit, powered by CatholicCare, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our specialised disability services for children and young people aged 18 and under are designed to provide the support, care and resources necessary for children living with disability to reach their full potential.
We focus on a personalised, child-centered approach, working closely with families to develop tailored plans that promote independence, enhance social skills, and support emotional wellbeing. We understand that each child is unique, and our goal is to empower them through compassionate care and evidence-based therapies. We offer a range of activities after school and during the school holidays which offer children the opportunity to connect with peers, build friendships and participate in activities tailored to their goals and interests. Activities may include art, music workshops, swimming, bushwalking, cooking, sensory play and much more.
