Thriving Kids Report release: Statement

Autism CRC welcomes the agreement between the Commonwealth and state governments on joint-funding to deliver Thriving Kids, along with the Advisory Group report handed down in February. The program’s design framework has been informed by extensive stakeholder input and best-practice evidence.

Thriving Kids is to deliver general parenting supports, local information, advice and navigation, and targeted supports from allied health professionals and other appropriately skilled workers – based on each child and family’s strengths and support needs. Importantly, Thriving Kids aims at strengthening multiple pathways for early identification of children with developmental delay or differences and connecting them with the right supports.
