The Roo Crew — 14 wonderfully imperfect Australian animal characters

Some children's brands tell stories. Some teach skills. Some talk about feelings. A few care about the planet.

Tradie Roo & the Crew does all of it.

Sparkles the Koala

Feel It

Stories that help children name big emotions, build resilience, and know they belong — even on the hard days.

Kookaburra character

Explore It

Adventures through Australia's wild places — and the amazing native animals that call those places home. Children discover what's extraordinary, what's fragile, and why it matters.

Wally the Wombat

Do It

Practical skills as a superpower. Building water stations for wildlife. Fixing things. Creating something useful for someone else. The beginning of a life lived in contribution.

Fitz the Cockatoo

Celebrate It

And when the work is done — there's music. Songs, albums, and live events for families to enjoy together, out in the world.

Every child will see themselves
in at least one Roo Crew character!

The Roo Crew are 14 (mostly) native Australian animal characters — tradies, adventurers, and problem-solvers. Each has their own personality, their own quirks, and their own emotional superpower.

Tradie Roo is an outstanding resource for supporting young children — not only with early literacy, but in delivering wellbeing strategies that build healthy habits, positive relationships, and the foundations for lifelong success.
Tim Lloyd Principal, Plumpton High School · NSW Department of Education
I saw real improvements in how engaged the kids were, how they interacted with each other, and how aware they were of their own feelings. Tradie Roo is a very useful and scalable SEL resource for both regular and inclusive classrooms.

Built with over 50 years of combined
clinical and education expertise.

The R.O.O. programs were developed by Lynne Jackson, MMHSc, Dr Philip Tam, FRANZCP, Cert. Child Psych — one of Australia's most respected child psychiatrists — and James Headlam, MA, BEd.

✦   OUR STORY   ✦

Where did the Roo Crew come from?

Tradie Roo & the Crew was built on a simple idea: that the best things we can give children are the skills to understand themselves, the curiosity to explore their world, and the confidence to make it a little better.

Through story, song, and hands-on adventure, the Roo Crew help children navigate big emotions, discover the wonder of Australia's native animals and wild places, and learn that practical skills — building, fixing, creating — are a kind of superpower anyone can have.

And when the music plays and families come together, we're reminded that joy, too, is something worth protecting.
