The Australian Government and state and territory governments have committed $4 billion over 5 years for Thriving Kids, the first phase of Foundational Supports.
The NDIA says this will support children aged 8 and under with developmental delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs, with services starting from 1 October 2026 and full rollout expected by 1 January 2028.
This is important for families to follow, especially if they are trying to understand what may sit inside or outside the NDIS in future.
