Hi Silvia

There are several great Child Life programmes in Australia: in Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane just to mention a few. There is also a programme in a Children's Hospice House in Sydney. Child Life goes by the name of Educational Play Therapy in Australia.

All these programmes are very well established and highly regarded. I'm sure you would be able to get some good information and contacts through Google

Best of Luck

Catherine
