The Child Development Service provides free assessment and support to children with developmental delay or difficulty who live in the Perth metropolitan area.

We accept referrals from professionals (e.g. teachers, GPs) and parents/carers for children up to the age of 16 years.

Wait times for our services can vary. Some services are currently in high demand and there may be delays.

We understand this can be a difficult and stressful time for families seeking support. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.

Once your child’s referral has been accepted, we will advise the expected wait time.

While your referral is being considered, we encourage you to explore the pages below for information and resources to support you and your child.
