Complex Paediatric Disability Support

Supporting the Child. Working With the Family.

Caring for a child with disability can involve many different people — parents, siblings, doctors, nurses, therapists, teachers and support workers.

At EllaWinnie Care Services, we recognise that parents and guardians hold invaluable knowledge about their child. We therefore take a collaborative, family-centred approach to paediatric disability support.
