NeuroKids
Paediatric Community Neurological Nursing and Health Navigation
NeuroKids aims to optimise the health, wellbeing and quality of life of Western Australian children and adolescents impacted by neurological symptoms or conditions, particularly 10–17-year-olds. NeuroKids is proudly supported by Telethon7 and the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation.
Our free, confidential community-based paediatric community neurological nursing and health system navigation service offers accessible nurse-led support for WA kids, delivered via a mix of home visits and virtual health consults.
Our NeuroKids nurses support patients, families and carers to understand, manage and navigate their condition and/or symptoms, and connect with necessary or interim clinical, disability and social support services. NeuroKids nurses have broad clinical knowledge and skills to help manage the non-doctored aspects of health care and clinical education. We work with treating professionals including neurologists, paediatricians, GPs, and allied health professionals, as well as specialist community organisations, to help you access the right information and supports at the right time. We can assist to successfully plan and manage hospital discharge to reduce relapse and readmission.
Our Perth and Bunbury based NeuroKids nurses are supported by our team of NeuroCare community neurological nurses in our Albany and Geraldton offices, and mobile nurses in the Peel and Wheatbelt regions.

Thank you for the effort that I can see going on in the background. I’m so grateful.
It has been extremely helpful knowing you are available should we need more support. It was so helpful having you start the process for NDIS through facilitating contact with Kiind. This has meant we are finally at the point of receiving an NDIS plan and funding. You took the feeling of overwhelm away and helped us get started. Thank you.
Your Paediatric Community Neurological Nursecontacted me and spent a considerable amount of time listening to my worries and concerns over the phone and followed up with a house visit to meet my son, and the family. She took the time to listen to our son’s story, and provided us with information, resources and guidance, and gave us a sense of hope for his recovery. My son’s situation is complex, and shea has always made herself available to listen with empathy and provide guidance and support.
I am so very grateful to her and the Neurological Council of WA for the amazing support they have given me and my family, but more importantly, my son.
