LOVE our kids
EMPOWER ourselves
INSPIRE our community
The creation of this network came about simply – by families talking to families, sharing advice, offering suggestions and supporting each other. We realised that each family has different challenges at different times in their children’s lives. Your family is not alone – The Umbrella Network is there to provide the information you need when you need it. We are available to support any family member or carer of a child with a disability or special need, regardless of degree of severity or type of impairment.
Many Service providers in the Townsville regions also use The Umbrella Network as a trusted information and research service.
Our Purpose
Our Network gathers all the information we can about what is available in our region. We network with as many like-minded organisations, support groups, service providers, government departments and education facilities in order to assist families when it comes to understanding ALL that information.
We welcome any families, friends, carers or health professionals that feel they can benefit from our services or contribute to what we can offer. You can be as involved as you like or simply use the services to help in any way they can.
