At Kookaburra Early Learning Centre, we know that family life can bring both joy and challenges. That’s why we’ve carefully compiled a selection of local and government support services designed to empower caregivers with trusted help whenever they need it.
Whether you’re navigating financial pressures, child development questions, health concerns or safety issues, our goal is to save you time and stress by putting reliable resources right at your fingertips.
Manage payments like Child Care Subsidy (CCS), Family Tax Benefit, Parenting Payment and more. Apply, manage claims, and access services via your myGov account.
Support for families in need, including housing, child protection, disability services, and family intervention programs.
Helps families facing challenges by providing support designed to keep children safe and families together.
Sun safety education and resources for families to reduce skin cancer risk.
Finding help can be tough, especially during stressful times. Many families don’t know where to start or get lost in the maze of websites and phone numbers. Some parents may not even realise there’s support available, and feel like they have to do it all alone.
We want caregivers to feel confident knowing there’s a place to turn when life gets tricky. And for those who just want to be ready for whatever comes next, these resources offer tools to help children thrive from the earliest days.
We’ve spoken with countless caregivers over the years, and while every family’s journey is different, some common questions come up time and again. Whether you’re looking for clarity, reassurance or just a starting point, this section is here to help.
We created this page to make it easier to find the right resource for your situation. Each listing includes a plain-language description of what the service does and how it might help. You can scan by category, and find the details of the organisation best suited to your needs. If you’re ever unsure, feel free to chat with our team.
We know every family’s situation is different, and this list might not cover it all. If you’re looking for something specific and don’t see it here, please reach out to our team. Whether it’s a local specialist, a government program, or a community group, we’ll do our best to help you find the right path.
We invite all families at Kookaburra, and in the wider Casino community, to consult these resources as your go-to guide for support. We’re your partners in raising happy, healthy children, and we’re here to answer any questions.
