About Us

BUSHkids is a non-Government, community organisation which offers a range of free allied health services to children and families living in rural Queensland.

In 2011 BUSHkids celebrates its 75th year of service and while the process of service provision has changed the key to our work is still health access for regional children. Prevention or early intervention is also an essential feature of any programs we would offer.

Working from centres located in Bundaberg, Dalby, Emerald, Inglewood, Mount Isa and Warwick, multi-professional teams, composed of a psychologist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and family health support worker, provide therapy services to children and families who have been referred to the service. 

Our clients are rural children aged up to 13 years who are suffering some behavioural, emotional, social and/or developmental difficulties. Short term intensive therapy through group or individual settings is the aim of the program. Parent support and development programs are also a core component of our courses.
