Families & Young Children

Our services are now open in a new and more personalised way. These services focus on individualised support and personal connection through small groups in your local area, in addition to our ongoing individual supports in the community and the home. Following advice from the NSW Department of Health, our large social outing services are not operating. However, our new approach will continue to meet your needs while ensuring all safe visiting practices and hygiene standards are adhered to. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us on 02 9302 3600 or email info@holdsworth.org.au
