State and territory governments

Governments have agreed on a national approach to Thriving Kids through a ‘national model’. This means families, carers and kin can expect similar types of Thriving Kids supports to roll out across Australia. Each state and territory can then tailor supports to meet local needs.

State and territory governments

State and territory governments will deliver:

  • child health and development checks to identify when a child may need extra support
  • information to help families, carers and kin (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 and capacity building) for children and families who need it
  • state measures to assist workforce capability readiness.
