Support for when families need it.
Help EarlyEd Provide Support When it is Needed to Families Living with Disability!
When families first begin to worry about their child’s development, it can be an uncertain and overwhelming time. They may not know where to turn, who to ask, or what steps to take. EarlyEd is here to provide guidance, clarity and support at this critical moment.
For over 47 years, EarlyEd has been a trusted, local not-for-profit organisation supporting children with developmental concerns, delays and disability, and their families across Northern and Western Sydney. Our purpose is to ensure that every child and family can access the right support, at the right time.
EarlyEd guides over 800 families annually to find their way, to feel less isolated,
be listened to without judgement, to better understand their child’s needs,
and be supported to take the next steps with confidence.
More and more children with delays in development and disability are missing out on support due to cost, funding barriers and eligibility requirements. The process to accessing support is complicated and families are daunted by the process.
EarlyEd helps bridge this gap by providing community-based support, trusted guidance and practical assistance,
ensuring families are not left to navigate complex support systems alone.
