Thriving Kids Initiative

Thriving Kids will focus on identifying developmental concerns earlier and establishing a national system of supports for children aged 8 and under with mild to moderate developmental delay and autism, and their families. Children with permanent and significant disability will continue to be supported through the NDIS. The program will be delivered by scaling and building on existing mainstream and community services that can better support families and children in settings they already are connected to.
