Early Intervention Supports

Do you want help to understand what is expected of you and your family so that your child, or children can remain safely in the home and in your care?

And is your family willing to do whatever it takes, including working as a team to make changes that will improve the safety and wellbeing of your child, or children?

Who do we support?

Little Petal supports parents living with disability and who are at risk of having their child or children removed from their care because the Department for Child Protection (DCP) has concerns about their capacity to keep them safe from harm, abuse and/or neglect.

We support first time parents, including expecting parents whose child is not born yet.

And we support families with multiple children who are required to meet their NDIS goals, and DCP and other professional recommendations and obligations, to be deemed safe and appropriate care givers.

How Can Little Petal In-Home Services Help You and Your Family?
