What is Thriving Kids?
07/02/2026
Thriving Kids will establish services and supports run by states and territories, outside of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It aims to identify children with additional developmental needs as early as possible, to ensure that evidence-based supports can be as effective as possible.
Implementing Thriving Kids is a publication series written by contributing authors from the Centre and our partner organisations that puts forward what is required for a strong national and state/territory approach to equity-focused action.
The Thriving Kids Advisory Group is co-chaired by Professor Frank Oberklaid AM, alongside The Hon Mark Butler, MP.
In last week's episode of ABC’s Insiders on Background, David Speers interviewed Professor Oberklaid on the findings of the report and the implementation of Thriving Kids. Watch the segment below.
