State and territory governments
Thriving Kids will be underpinned by the same principles and objectives in all states and territories, but it might look different in different locations. There is a good reason for that. It's about building on existing strengths and investing where it makes the biggest impact
Thriving Kids will be child and family-centred, evidence-based, culturally appropriate and inclusive. How and where services are delivered will reflect local arrangements in each state and territory.
State and territory governments will deliver:
- child health and development checks to identify when a child may need extra support
- information to help families find the right supports in their state or territory
- programs for families that help support their child’s development
- targeted supports like allied health, low-cost assistive technology or capacity building for children and families who need it
- state measures to assist workforce capability readiness.
