Our Journey
Our journey began with Kids Matters Occupational Therapy, a private practice established in 2003. Over the years, we have had the privilege of supporting countless children and families through expert therapy services. However, we have also witnessed the heartbreaking reality that not every family can afford to meet their child’s additional health and developmental needs.
No child should be turned away from receiving essential support due to financial barriers. This deeply held belief is what led us to take a bold step forward. In late 2022, we saw an opportunity to make a real difference and established The Kids Matters Community Foundation in January 2023 as a Not-for-Profit organisation. Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide access to life-changing assessments to pave the way for children and families to get the support they need.
Every Child Matters. Your Child Matters. Together we can create a brighter future.
Through community support, generous donors, and a shared passion for helping children thrive, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and ensuring that every child has access to the care they deserve.
Together, we can build brighter futures for every child.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to bridge the gap for families in need by funding assessments that give children access to essential specialist health care. We strive to open doors to opportunity, ensuring every child receives the support they need to reach their full potential because no child should be left behind.
Our vision is a world where every child, regardless of their family’s income, has equal opportunities to thrive. By funding essential assessments and evaluations necessary for developmental, behavioural, and educational growth, we strive to create a future where all children can access the resources and support they need to actively participate in their communities, and lead happy, healthy lives.
Help us create a future where every child has the chance to shine.
