EarlyEd – Early Intervention Services

What is Thriving Kids? What do I need to know about this?

With lots of information circulating online about the Thriving Kids Advisory Group report, many parents are feeling uncertain and worried about what it could mean for their child and family.

EarlyEd are pleased to be able to share this event organised by the Child and Family Disability Alliance (CaFDA). We have been part of several community networks submitting information to the inquiries and advisory groups regrading Thriving Kids.

Join this free information-focused webinar to unpack the Thriving Kids Advisory Group report. You’ll hear from three members of the Thriving Kids Advisory Group who will share clear, factual information and practical examples to help you make sense of the report, what has been recommended and what it means for your family right now.

The webinar will cover:

• The role and purpose of the Thriving Kids Advisory Group report
• What has been recommended and what happens next
• What supports are expected to change
• What supports are expected to remain part of the NDIS
• Real-world examples of how the recommendations could support different family situations.

Navigating support at school for children with disability can feel overwhelming and confusing for parents and caregivers. Many families are unsure what schools are required to provide and how to ensure their children receive the supports they need.
