- Full Circle Therapies' Mason's House now open to Goldfields families
- The site will be home to a paediatric allied health service
- The new facility was supported by a $2.8 million Cook Government investment
- Service improves access to early intervention services
Goldfields families now have greater access to allied healthcare with Mason's House, a purpose-built paediatric therapy centre, officially open.
The site is home to Full Circle Therapies Inc, a not-for-profit community organisation providing much needed therapy services to Goldfields families for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The project was an election commitment supported by $2.8 million in State Government funding.
The new facility includes multi-functional therapy and meeting spaces, a specialised sensory and acoustic room, a dedicated client services area, and family-friendly outdoor therapy spaces.
Mason's House has been intentionally designed to ensure accessibility, strengthen professional collaboration and provide long-term community benefits.
Full Circle Therapies Inc is a not-for-profit registered charity established in 2010 to support children with special needs to access specialised therapies and allied health services. The organisation delivers individualised therapy programs tailored to each child's abilities and needs.
Mason's House is now welcoming families and represents a significant step forward in improving access to early intervention services, reducing the need for regional families to travel long distances for care, and strengthening the sustainability of allied health services in the Goldfields.
As stated by Health Minister Meredith Hammat:
"Mason's House is a significant investment in the health and wellbeing of children and families in the Goldfields, and it's great to be here for its official opening today.
"This new, purpose-built facility ensures families can access high-quality paediatric allied health services closer to home, reducing the stress and cost associated with travelling long distances for care.
"The Cook Labor Government is proud to support regional communities through targeted investments that strengthen local services and deliver lasting benefits."
As stated by Goldfields-Esperance Minister David Michael:
"The Full Circle Therapies project represents a commitment by our government to support regional families with much-needed local therapy services.
"This project is affectionately called Mason's House in honour of the first child supported by Full Circle Therapies nearly 15 years ago.
"This is a fitting tribute and a testament to the Board and staff, whose focus and commitment have brought this project to life."
As stated by Kalgoorlie MLA Ali Kent:
"I am pleased to have delivered this commitment to Full Circle Therapies on behalf of the Cook Labor Government.
"This investment will ensure Goldfields families can access the services they need, without the added burden of travelling long distances.
"I am committed to supporting our community and giving every child the best possible start in life."
