Residential Services
Your GP or Child & Family Health Nurse may refer you to Tresillian for a residential stay. This is an inpatient service where you and your partner and baby or toddler, stay at a Tresillian Centre over 4-nights/5-days to work through a particular parenting issue.
Tresillian’s Residential Programs are available in Sydney at Canterbury, Nepean, Wollstonecraft, on the mid-North-Coast at Macksville and in the ACT at the QEII Family Centre, Curtin. The residential service is a 4-night/5-day program for families experiencing significant parenting challenges that require intensive intervention and strategies to promote family health and wellbeing.
A referral from your GP or local child and family health nurse is required to access this service, or complete the form on our website under 'Book a Visit'. One of our friendly nurses will call you back in 72 hours.
