Thriving Kids: New Support for Autism, Developmental Delay
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 final program design will be settled between the Australian Government and state and territory governments. It will be informed by experts and the significant community input received through the Independent Review of the NDIS, and the Thriving Kids Advisory Group co-chaired by Professor Frank Oberklaid.
