ABOUT US
​The Holistic Centre for Neurodiversity is a purpose-built, neuroaffirming service in Wentworth Falls. We provide therapeutic and developmental supports for neurodivergent children, teens, and adults.
The Holistic Centre for Neurodiversity (HCND) Practice Framework is trauma-informed, developmentally attuned, and NDIS-aligned—meeting individuals where they are, and supporting growth in ways that are neurobiologically, emotionally, and functionally sustainable. We uphold the highest standards of privacy, integrity, and transparency—ensuring that every interaction is grounded in trust, clarity, and respect.
​Our Purpose
Our Mission
The Holistic Centre for Neurodiversity exists to transform how support for neurodivergent individuals is delivered—setting a new standard grounded in safety, autonomy, and respect. We are committed to safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of every person in our care.
Our mission is to lead with purpose by delivering innovative, evidence-informed services honouring sensory, emotional, and developmental needs across the lifespan.
Through attuned, relationship-based practice, we support children, teens, and adults to build regulation, deepen self-understanding, and engage meaningfully across home, learning, and community life.
We don’t just deliver services—we shape environments where neurodivergent people can thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a world that recognises neurodiversity as a natural and valuable part of human variation—where support systems are not designed to ‘fix’ difference, but to honour it.
At the Holistic Centre for Neurodiversity, we are building a future where neurodivergent children, teens, and adults are supported in environments that are developmentally respectful, trauma-informed, and sensory-attuned.
These spaces nurture autonomy and reflect each person’s unique neurodevelopmental profile.
Our vision is to lead a systemic shift away from compliance-based models and toward inclusive, relational, and neuroaffirming practices—where all neurotypes are empowered to thrive through connection, agency, and meaningful participation.​​
What We Offer
The Holistic Centre for Neurodiversity is a specialised service with a clear focus: therapeutic and developmental supports for autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
Developmental Supports
Aligned with the NDIS Early Childhood Approach, these sessions support children aged 3 and up build real-life skills through movement, play and creative expression.
Therapeutic Supports
Delivered by art therapists and counsellors, our integrated counselling and art therapy sessions combine talk-based, body-based, and creative approaches to support emotional regulation and self-understanding.

​The HCND model is a purpose-built framework designed to meet the everyday needs of neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan. It integrates current research in neurobiology, developmental science, and trauma-informed practice to support real-world regulation, communication, identity, and autonomy.
​
These guide how we structure sessions, involve families, and define progress. Every element is designed to uphold dignity, autonomy, and safety — embedding neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and developmentally respectful support at every level.
We are committed to transparent and ethical service delivery. Feedback is welcomed and actively used to refine our supports. If concerns arise, we have clear processes in place to address them with respect and care. Our safeguarding and risk management practices are designed to protect the wellbeing, autonomy, and rights of every individual we support.
