The team supports South Australian children and adolescents (0–18 years) living with disability, developmental delay, or social and emotional challenges — empowering them to reach their full potential through compassionate, individualised care.
Resilient Kidz has been working with young individuals in Adelaide and surrounding suburbs since 2019. Service areas include the Northern suburbs (Salisbury, Elizabeth, Modbury and more), Southern suburbs (Marion, Morphett Vale, Noarlunga and more), Eastern suburbs (Norwood, Magill, Burnside and more), and Western suburbs (Henley Beach, Port Adelaide, Semaphore and more).
Small Group Programs
The inclusive group programs are thoughtfully designed for primary school–aged children of all abilities and experience levels. Resilient Kidz welcomes young people living with disability, developmental delay, or social and emotional challenges — as well as any child who would love to participate in extracurricular activities but may benefit from additional support.
Within a warm and welcoming small-group environment, children are encouraged to build confidence, develop meaningful social connections, and discover their strengths at their own pace. Every child is supported to feel capable, included, and empowered — because every child deserves the opportunity to participate, belong, and thrive.
