Fact sheet: Foundational Supports and Thriving Kids
The Australian Government has reached a landmark agreement with state and territory governments to reform Australia’s health and disability systems. As part of this agreement, governments have agreed to put new investment into supports outside the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), known as ‘Foundational Supports’.
As a first step, governments will focus on establishing supports for children aged 8 and under with developmental delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs and their families, known as ‘Thriving Kids’.
