Royal Far West is an Australian charity based in the Sydney suburb of Manly, concerned with improving access to developmental care for children from rural and remote areas of New South Wales.

Founded in 1924 by Methodist missionary Reverend Stanley Drummond from Cobar, today Royal Far West works in partnership with families, schools, healthcare providers, local government and community groups, offering health, education and disability services for country children and their families at its Centre for Country Kids in Manly, as well as virtually via Telecare and in local rural and remote communities.

[3] The Far West Scheme also developed an aerial transport service in the 1930s and successfully lobbied the New South Wales Government to pay for the construction of airstrips to allow better access to communities.

[5] This award-winning program connects country children with specialist assessment, therapy and local capacity-building via videolink from their schools, homes and clinics.

Telecare for Kids is growing rapidly, expanding into more schools and homes, with an increased emphasis on building the capacity of parents, teachers and early educators.
