Learning Links

What Learning Links does

Learning Links is a charitable not-for-profit organisation, established in 1972 and headquartered in Alexandria, NSW, that delivers assessments, therapy, tutoring, and early education services to children with learning and developmental needs. Its clinical offering spans psychology, speech therapy, specialist tutoring, early childhood programs (including the Learning Links Preschool), and a comprehensive diagnostic assessment suite, delivered across five physical locations in Greater Sydney (Alexandria, Bella Vista, Gledswood Hills, Liverpool, Peakhurst) and via telehealth.

The organisation operates a hybrid revenue model: NDIS-funded services under the Improved Daily Living category, Medicare-rebated psychology sessions under the Better Access initiative, fee-for-service private clients, professional development course subscriptions delivered through a Kajabi-powered learning platform, and tax-deductible charitable donations channelled through its ACNC registration. Its technology footprint is modest — a WordPress CMS website with WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility, augmented by Kajabi for course delivery — with no proprietary platform, mobile app, or AI capabilities disclosed.

Beyond direct service delivery, Learning Links monetises and distributes its clinical expertise through a structured professional learning catalogue (Dyslexia Decoded Suite, Ready to Learn, Attention on ADHD, Teaching Multiplication and Division, and synthetic phonics courses) sold as individual or organisational bulk licenses. A large free content library — fact sheets, articles, videos, and webinars covering dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, dyscalculia, and emotional regulation — supports top-of-funnel demand generation for both therapy services and paid courses, with NDIS support coordinators, GPs, paediatricians, schools, and early childhood centres acting as referral channels.
