Find out about upcoming events and NeuFriends Neurological Support Groups.
LAUNCH - NeuroKids in the Mid West
The official launch of NeuroKids in the Mid West celebrates the expansion of the Neurological Council of WA’s free paediatric neurological nursing and health navigation service to regional Western Australia.
As a Telethon7 2026 beneficiary, NeuroKids is expanding beyond Perth and the South West, with a dedicated Paediatric Community Neurological Nurse now to support children and families across the Mid West from our Geraldton office. This growth brings specialist neurological care closer to home for children and young people living with complex neurological conditions.
NeuroKids provides nurse-led, family-centred support to help families navigate diagnosis, treatment and health, disability and education systems—reducing overwhelm and improving outcomes for regional families.
Meet our Geraldton-based Paediatric Community Neurological Nurse, CEO Etta Palumbo and Clinical Nurse Manager Lou Hatter, and discover how NeuroKids is supporting Mid West families closer to home.
