Personalised Care for Families and Individuals

Specialising in Autism, developmental needs and trauma, with support grounded in understanding and evidence-informed practice.

At Spear & Arrow, we know that families don’t need quick fixes, they need support, guidance, and someone to walk the journey with them. Through Occupational Therapy, Behaviour Support, and Key Worker services, we partner with individuals and families to build skills, understand emotions, and create small, steady steps toward meaningful progress.

Every family’s story is unique. Our approach is grounded in connection, collaboration, and evidence-informed practice, focusing on supports that are realistic, practical, and sustainable in everyday life. We work alongside you, not in front or behind, to help make daily routines, relationships, and transitions feel more manageable.

Based in Dubbo, we’re proud to support families across Western NSW. We meet people exactly where they are, offering guidance, strategies, and consistent care as they work toward their goals.

With more than 30 years of combined experience across therapy, education, development, and disability, our team provides calm, steady, and personalised support designed to help families feel understood, equipped, and never alone in the process.

Our Services

Behavioural Support

Age Range: All ages

Behaviour Support helps individuals understand their emotions, manage behaviours of concern, and develop safer, more effective ways to express themselves. Our Behaviour Practitioners work closely with families, carers, schools, and other supports to create practical, realistic strategies tailored to each person. The goal is to improve wellbeing, build skills, and support positive participation at home, at school, and in the community.
