About Gifted Support Network

Gifted Support Network (formerly Bayside Young Active Minds) is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 1998 by local parents in the Bayside area of Melbourne, Australia. Members are families and educators who have discovered that their children share many of the Typical Traits of Giftedness.

Gifted Support Network endeavours to provide relevant information, resources and support to families and educators with gifted children.

We acknowledge the individual, social, emotional and intellectual needs of gifted children and their families throughout the various stages of development from infancy to the teen years and beyond.

Gifted Support Network members have the opportunity to enrich their parenting, teaching and learning journey through information sessions, social opportunities and the sharing of the personal stories of others.

We also work to improve community awareness and understanding of the special needs of the gifted. See Gifted Support Network in the news.

New members are always warmly welcomed.
