This World Cerebral Palsy Day, we’re celebrating Helen, a much-loved...
Our Dry Nights Bedwetting Clinic supports you in managing your child’s enuresis (night-time bedwetting) with practical strategies, education and expert guidance. Bedwetting is a common part of childhood development, with many children developing bowel and control by around three years of age and at night by around five years of age.
For some children, bedwetting continues for longer. This is more common in children with disabilities where factors such as sensory processing differences, interoception (recognising body signals), and delayed bladder control can play a role.
Rocky Bay’s Enuresis (bedwetting) clinic in Perth supports children aged 5 to 16 years, with practical, evidence-based continence support delivered by our experienced Continence Nurse Specialist. We work alongside families and carers to build confidence, independence and improve night-time continence issues.
As a not-for-profit, our focus is on people not profit. This means any surplus is reinvested back into our services, facilities and support, so families can access high-quality, specialist care that continues to grow and improve over time.
Enuresis is the medical term for involuntary urination. It most commonly refers to bedwetting at night, although it can also include daytime wetting. Importantly, enuresis is not something children can control. It can occur for a range of reasons, including:
This program is suitable for children aged 5–16 years who meet the criteria below:
Delivered over 12 weeks, the program includes:
We work closely with families over 12 weeks, providing a mix of face-to-face and telehealth support along with equipment and resources to ensure consistent, personalised care. Our flexible approach allows us to check in regularly, track progress, and adapt the program as needed, while making it easier for families to access support without always needing to attend in person. We’ll also follow up after 6 months to check progress and address any on going support needs.
The program uses mat and alarm therapy, an evidence-based approach designed to support children to develop night-time bladder control. A discreet sensor mat is placed under the child while they sleep, and when moisture is detected, an alarm is triggered to wake them.
This process helps children gradually learn to recognise the feeling of a full bladder and respond appropriately. With consistency and support, many children develop stronger bladder awareness, improved sleep routines, and increased confidence.
The goal is to achieve 21 consecutive dry nights, and to maintain dryness over time.

If you’re unsure if the Enuresis program is the right fit, Rocky Bay also offers broader continence services through our Children’s Continence Clinics.
