Flying Start Mudgee

How does Flying Start Mudgee work?

Our Occupational Therapist and Speech Pathologist can complete assessment and provide therapy to support children to reach their developmental milestones. This may include linking them with other local support services when needed. The therapy team will have clinics in Mudgee every fortnight.

There will be three paediatric clinics each year to help link children with complex needs to the right supports.

Parents and educators can also attend education sessions to help identify if their child’s development is on track, and equip them with additional skills and ideas to help children reach their full potential. Support to make referrals can also happen at these sessions.

Who is the program for?

Flying Start Mudgee is for children aged up to 7 years in the Mudgee region who are living with identified developmental concerns in one of more of the following areas:

• Physical health and wellbeing
• Social competence
• Emotional maturity
• Language and cognitive skills
• Communication skills and general knowledge.

This program provides early intervention supports children need to ensure that children are thriving – so they can start school with support and be set up to learn, and that parents and educators are better equipped to support children.

How do I refer into the program?

Accessing the program is easy – anyone can complete a referral, or you can give our Clinic Coordinator a call on 0419 740 768 to refer over the phone. Once we receive your referral, our team will be in touch to discuss next steps.

This program is proudly funded by EnergyCo through the Community and Employment Benefit Program.
