About Uncle Bobs
What is Uncle Bobs?
Uncle Bobs Child Development Centre is an Early Intervention program for families of children with developmental disabilities aged 0-6 years who live in the inner Western Metropolitan Region of Melbourne.
The program is a component of the Developmental Medicine Department of the Royal Children’s Hospital. It is funded by the Education and Early Childhood Department (DEECD). The centre is also proudly supported by the Uncle Bobs Club and the Waverley Auxiliary enabling us to provide other programs such as the Canadian Parent-Child Mother Goose Program.
