Beyond Limits Funding Support
At Beyond Limits Children's Foundation, we understand that accessing assessments, therapy, and medical support for your child can be overwhelming — especially when cost, waitlists, or travel make things even harder.
Our support programs are designed to help reduce financial and geographic barriers so children can access the care they need sooner.

Who Can Apply?
Families may be eligible to apply for financial support if they:
- Have a child with developmental concerns, disability, feeding challenges, or additional needs
- Are experiencing financial hardship or significant out-of-pocket costs

- Developmental or diagnostic assessments
- Medical or specialist appointments
- Professional reports or evidence required for care planning
- Outreach or access-related costs (where applicable)

Outcome & Next Steps
We'll inform you of the outcome. If approved, you'll receive details about funding, limits, and how services will be arranged.
Step 1 Details
Families or carers can submit an application form with basic information about the child and family, the main concerns and support needs, the services requested, barriers to accessing care (financial and/or geographic), and any current supports, waitlists, or referrals.
Step 2 Details
To help us understand your child's needs, we may ask for referral letters (GP, paediatrician, therapist, school/preschool), therapy reports, quotes or invoices, appointment letters or waitlist confirmations, and information about financial hardship where relevant.
Step 3 Details
Our team will review your application against child and family need, urgency and impact of support requested, eligibility criteria for the relevant program, available funding and service capacity. We may contact you for more information if needed.
Step 4 Details
Once approved, we'll provide details about what support has been approved, how funding will be used, any limits or conditions, and how services will be arranged or reimbursed. If we cannot provide support, we'll try to offer information about other pathways.
What We Prioritise
Because funding is limited, we prioritise applications where support is likely to:
- Improve access to timely assessment or early intervention
- Reduce delays in care during critical developmental periods
- Help families overcome significant financial barriers
- Support children in rural, regional, or remote areas
- Assist with evidence or reports needed to access ongoing services (including school or disability supports)
Before You Apply
It may help to gather the following:
- A short summary of your child's current needs
- Names of any current providers (if applicable)
- Quotes/costs for the support requested
- Copies of any recent reports or referrals
- Information about waitlists or upcoming appointments
If you don't have all of this yet, you can still reach out.
