What you can expect from the program

Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. Funding is dependent on donations. If funding is approved, Sunshine Coast Community Services will send payment directly to the provider of the activity or reimburse the family with submission of receipts. Full funding may not be available. If funding is provided, attendance and participation are required.

How you can take part

A member of the Early Intervention team may recommend an activity for your child to participate in.
