If you’ve not heard Dr Sophie Scamps recommend Play Therapy be added to Australian Medicare in the budget (2024), I recommend a watch!
The evidence is strong, early intervention, and trauma-based and developmental-based supports ideally include child-centred and neuro-affirming interventions like Play Therapy!
Play Therapy is evidence based and when provided by tertiary trained play therapists with registration recognition with NASRHP and AHPA quality is assured
Australian children deserve access to supports that are developmentally sensitive through mental health and developmental services provided by the government, schools, charities, health clinics, organisations, and private providers
It didn’t happen in the last budget, so let’s keep advocating for children to have a choice in their service provision!
