360 Kids – Early Childhood Services
We provide early childhood services across Australia to children of all ages and backgrounds, whether you pay out of pocket or access funding via NDIS, Medicare, health insurance or other funding schemes.
At 360 Kids, we believe every child deserves the right support at the right time to help them grow, learn, and thrive. We understand the powerful impact early intervention can have, and we’re committed to walking alongside children and families on their journey towards a bright future.
Our approach is holistic, inclusive, and family-centred. We tailor supports to each child’s strengths, needs, and stage of development, recognising that no two journeys look the same.
We work in partnership with families, building confidence and capability through collaboration, caregiver coaching, and shared decision-making.
At 360 Kids, your child’s success is our priority.
Benefits of our Early Childhood Approach
The early commencement of services is the key advantage of our approach. We understand the frustration of waiting periods for allied health services, which causes delays in commencing early intervention.
Our multidisciplinary team promptly initiate assessments and collaborate to develop the most appropriate therapy plan for your child's needs.
Our 360 Kids Early Childhood Approach supports children ages 0-9, but our services don't end there. We continue to provide support to children throughout their development to adulthood and beyond. Children over the age of 9 will be offered ongoing therapy through our allied health teams working in adolescent and adult services.
We provide individualised services that may include:
- Assessments and reporting
- Therapy planning and delivery
- Individual and group therapy
- Equipment sourcing and recommendations
Our focus is not just on therapy sessions, but on building capacity and empowering children and families with skills, strategies, and confidence that can be used in everyday life.
Coordinated Care for Timely Progress
Under the 360 Kids service, our clinicians work closely with the child’s support team and other providers to coordinate care, ensuring therapy remains consistent, timely, and focused on achieving meaningful progress.
Early Childhood Support and the NDIS
The NDIS Early Childhood Approach can provide funding for children and their families via the NDIS.
The Early Childhood Approach helps children younger than 6 with developmental delays or children younger than 9 with a permanent disability and their families to access the right support when they need it. Children younger than 6 do not need a diagnosis to get support through the early childhood approach where there are concerns about their development.
The Early Childhood Approach was developed based on evidence-based research with the help of leading experts in early childhood intervention. Children over the age of 9 are supported via the NDIS if they have a permanent disability.
How We Work at 360 Kids
Every child and family is different, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all way to provide support.
At 360 Kids, we work with families to choose a service model that best supports their child’s goals, strengths, and stage of development. These models can change over time as your child’s needs change.
Our Service Delivery Models
Single Discipline
This is when your child is supported by one allied health professional (clinician) - for example, a speech pathologist or occupational therapist. This approach is used when your child’s goals can be supported by one area of care, and support from other clinicians isn’t needed at this time.
Why this model?
It keeps support simple and focused when your child’s needs are clear and can be supported by one clinician.
Multidisciplinary
When your child has needs in more than one area, two
or more clinicians may work with your family. Each clinician supports your child in their own area, while working together as a team.
When it’s helpful to have one main point of contact, a Key Worker is identified. This clinician:
- coordinates communication across the team
- supports planning and teamwork when needed
- helps keep therapy consistent and organised
The Key Worker may be an Early Childhood Practitioner, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, or Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner - depending on what best supports your child and family.
Why this model?
It’s used when your child benefits from support from
more than one type of clinician, while still having one clear person to help coordinate care.
Transdisciplinary
In this approach, clinicians work very closely together.
One clinician is identified as the Key Worker / Lead Clinician and becomes your main point of contact.
The Lead Clinician provides therapy with support
from the wider team. Clinicians plan together, may attend joint appointments, and share strategies so your child’s support feels connected across everyday routines.
Why this model?
It’s often chosen when families prefer working mainly with one clinician, while still having input from a team behind the scenes.
Mixed Service
In this approach, clinicians work together in flexible ways. Some goals may be supported by a Lead Clinician, while other goals are supported directly by individual clinicians.
Why this model?
It’s used when your child needs different types of
support, and some goals need more specific input than others. This allows the right mix of shared planning and individual support.
