The Key Worker model seeks to intentionally strengthen the relationship between the carer and child, and proactively builds the long-term capacity of the carer. It is designed to give consistent and focused support to both the family and child in their everyday environment.
In the Key Worker model, the child connects with one primary therapist who works closely with them and their family. This partnership supports the child’s development, fosters their wellbeing, and enhances their community participation.
At Pinarc we embrace the Key Worker model for children aged 0 – 8 years, as this has been shown to give the best outcomes for children by helping families and carers to support their child’s development in their own environment.
At Pinarc our Key Workers are professionally trained in occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy or education. Our Key Workers build meaningful partnerships with the child and their family/carer, working on goals set by them, using the child’s interests, the family’s strengths, and everyday routines to offer tailored therapy and strategies that work smoothly within the child’s home and community settings.
Pinarc’s Key Workers can provide services and support in a variety of environments that are a part of the family’s everyday life including at home, school, shopping centres and kindergartens. Alongside therapy sessions, our Key Workers also offer a range of additional supports including service coordination, access to information and resources, and advocacy.
At Pinarc, our Key Worker Coach provides dedicated support to our Key Workers to make sure all our children and families receive a meaningful service that leads to the best long-term outcomes for everyone. Our partnership extends beyond the therapy room, we are here to guide you, share resources, and work with you to support your child’s outcomes and wellbeing.
