Making mental health care accessible to every child in Australia
We’re on a mission to provide all children, parents and educators with outstanding, affordable, and timely support.
Early intervention is proven to be more effective than crisis management.
But with psychology prices rising and waiting lists stretching for months (or even years), half of all Aussie children aren’t getting help in time.
So we decided to do something about it.
Traditional clinics aren’t equipped to face the challenges we’re seeing as we stand on the brink of a mental health crisis.
That’s why Dr Kimberley O’Brien and Leonardo Rocker, co-founders of Australia’s leading child psychology clinic Quirky Kid, devised a way to deliver the right support to families, schools, and centres at the right time.
So, why us?
BriteChild® combines affordable telehealth and ongoing Q+A with expert psychologists to fully equip families and educators to support the children in their care.
This project is partially funded by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources through the Boosting Female Founders Initiative.
