Caring is sharing

Are you caring for a child with a disability? At Rocky Bay, our friendly team is here to provide the support you need. We offer a wide range of carer support services designed to equip you with the strategies, skills, and confidence necessary to face everyday challenges with resilience and help you find ways to alleviate the stress and fatigue that often accompany this responsibility. Rocky Bay is your dedicated partner in possibility and we are here to celebrate the wins as well as help you feel more supported in your caring role when you need it most.

Carer support services tailored to your family 

At Rocky Bay, our programs aim to integrate your child’s learning into various aspects of their life, and we believe in making you an integral part of this process. By working collaboratively with our trained and qualified therapists, who are joined by two additional individuals, we ensure that your child’s extended network is well-supported. These programs are designed to equip parents and carers, like you, with effective tools, strategies and access to carer support programs that offer:

  • Strategies for setting boundaries and managing behaviours
  • Consistent communication techniques to use at home, school and in the community
  • Guidance to help empower you with confidence responding to and anticipating challenging moments and difficult behaviours.
  • Support from a wider network that includes professionals and other carers

All our programs at Rocky Bay are meticulously research-based, and we don’t implement a program without conducting a pilot to assess its effectiveness. This commitment ensures that every collaborative effort we undertake is valuable and fulfilling you for you, your child and your family.
