Thriving Kids in the NT

Do you have questions about the Thriving Kids rollout in the Northern Territory?

Parents, caregivers, kin and service providers are invited to free community information sessions across the NT.

Thriving Kids is a new Australian Government program for children with developmental delay, autism and other support needs. These sessions will provide clear information about what is currently known and what the rollout may mean for children, families and service providers in the NT.

During the sessions, you can:

• learn about the proposed Thriving Kids program

• hear what is currently known about the NT rollout

• ask questions and raise concerns

• share your experiences and feedback

• help identify what NT children and families need from the new system

This is an important opportunity for families and service providers to have their voices heard while the program is being developed.
