Royal Far West is a specialist child development service providing vital supports to improve the health and wellbeing of country children.
Royal Far West offers multidisciplinary developmental, mental health and disability support services for country children up to the age of 12, to help them reach their full potential. These services are delivered at our Centre for Country Kids in Manly, via telehealth and in-community.
Throughout our over 100-year history, Royal Far West’s ambition has remained unchanged: ensuring every country child has access to the services they need to support their early development and enrich their lives.
A life in the country is a life beyond the ordinary.
But for country kids, facing developmental and mental health challenges, isolation and distance can make it hard to access the specialist help they need.
Royal Far West is dedicated to going beyond for country kids, providing developmental support where and whenever it’s needed. To reach every child who needs us, we need you.
