Specialist Early Childhood Intervention
Early intervention, led by teacherswho understand children before they understand therapy.
Eluma is specialist Early Childhood Intervention for children aged 0 to 9, delivered by qualified early childhood teachers across Melbourne's South East. We work with your child where they live and learn: at home, in kinder, and at school. The work is the relationships, routines, and skills that support real development.
The care a child receives in these years shapes who they become, and how they meet the world.

Why families choose Eluma
What makes us different
Four things that families and professionals notice about us.
Every practitioner is a qualified early childhood teacher
With a minimum of five years of classroom experience and DIRFloortime certification.
We work in your child's world
At home, in kinder, at school. Not in a clinic.
We serve children aged 0 to 9
Covering the gap most providers leave at age 6.
Grounded in DIRFloortime
A relational, developmental approach with published research behind it.
Coordination and advocacy, alongside the therapy
Your child's specialist attends school SSG meetings, coordinates with other therapists, supports kinder inclusion plans, and advocates at NDIS plan reviews. You don't have to be the project manager of your child's care.

She saw too many children falling through the gaps between services — getting referrals for isolated sessions that didn't account for the whole child, the family, or the environments where learning actually happens.

Things families ask us
Most of our families access Eluma through their NDIS plan, but you don't need one to start a conversation. The Discovery Session is a good first step.
0 to 9, from birth through to early primary school, covering the gap many providers leave at age 6.
A Developmental, Individual-difference, Relationship-based approach. Relational and child-led, working with your child's natural interests rather than imposing structured behavioural programs.
Most allied health support focuses on one area at a time. An Eluma specialist works across all developmental areas in a coordinated way, in your child's natural environments, with your whole family involved.
Homes, kindergartens, childcare centres, and schools across Melbourne's South East, from Edithvale to Pakenham.
Yes. 60–90 minutes, completely free, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll help you find someone who is.
