Thriving Kids Connect WA commences today.
Thriving Kids Connect WA is the new central point of contact for families, carers, and kin of children aged 0-8 years with developmental delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs. This is the first service in WA’s phased roll out of the Thriving Kids national reforms. Thriving Kids Connect WA is a statewide phone, online and face-to-face information, advice, and navigation service.

Children in the Thriving Kids cohort can still apply to access early intervention supports through the NDIS up to 1 January 2028 when participants will remain “grandfathered” in the scheme until they turn 9 and subject to normal reassessment.
The Thriving Kids Connect WA works alongside existing child supports, not instead of them. If you’re already receiving the right help, you can keep going with your existing supports.
Like all other States and Territories, WA is implementing Thriving Kids through a phased approach with services being introduced between 1 October 2026 and 1 January 2028. To find out more, head to the link in comments.
