What’s involved?

Enrolled families are connected virtually to a team of healthcare providers, such as a child and family nurse, GP, social worker and playroom coordinator.

VRPS has planned sessions across each of the 5 days. The sessions are flexible and work with families on their goals. We welcome partners and other caregivers to join the sessions.

VRPS is a confidential service that uses NSW Health’s secure, myVirtualCare platform. You will need reliable internet and your own personal device (preferable laptops and iPads/tablets) to access the service. Options may be available if you have limited data.

Referrals to VRPS

Referrals to the VRPS can be made by NSW healthcare providers, such as child and family health nurses, GPs, social workers, paediatricians or via our self-referral service.

We will assess your referral and discuss what the right Karitane service is for you.
