Supporting Southwest families through local partnership

Inklings is proud to recognise its longstanding delivery partner in Western Australia’s Southwest, Out Loud Developmental Services, and the important work they continue to do with local families.

Working in partnership since September 2024, Out Loud delivers the evidence-informed Inklings program directly within the community, ensuring families can access high-quality early support close to home.

With strong local knowledge and a genuine commitment to caregivers, their team provides practical, relationship-focused support tailored to the needs of Southwest families.

Since the partnership began, Out Loud has delivered a significant number of sessions to Inklings families across the region, helping caregivers build confidence and strengthen everyday interactions that support their child’s development.

Out Loud Developmental Services Speech Pathologist Kelly Kent said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to accessible early support:

“Our partnership with Inklings allows us to provide families in the Southwest with practical, evidence-informed strategies in a way that feels supportive and local. Out Loud loves being able to support our younger generation to be able to develop their communication and interaction skills to go on to live their best lives,” Ms Kent said.

Families based in the Southwest can learn more and enrol in the program via inklings.org.au/wa before 31 May.
