Changes to Early Childhood Supports 

Changes were recently announced to the age range for children and families supported by the early childhood approach.

These changes mean that early childhood supports will no longer be funded for plans approved for children after they turn 7, and instead, therapy supports may be included if reasonable and necessary.

Providers supporting children after they turn 7 must be qualified to deliver these supports.

The way providers support young children and families, claim, and provide support for children aged 7 and 8 remains unchanged. Early childhood supports will still apply for participants under 7, and therapy supports for those aged 7 and older.

For more detail on this, visit the NDIS website here.
